  • The Impact of Using E-Health on Patient Satisfaction from a Physician-Patient Relationship Perspective
    JOURNAL OF CRITICAL REVIEWS ISSN- 2394-5125 VOL 7, ISSUE 19, 2020 THE IMPACT OF USING E-HEALTH ON PATIENT SATISFACTION FROM A PHYSICIAN-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP PERSPECTIVE This research is completed under patronage of Petra University Dr. Yasmin Sakka1, Dr. Dina Qarashay2 1Faculty of Administrative & Financial Sciences/Management, Information Systems Department/University of Petra 2Medical Health Center/University of Petra Received: 14 March 2020 Revised and Accepted: 8 July 2020 ABSTRACT: This study aims to determine how e-health impacts physician-patient relationship by evaluating patients’ perceptions in terms of trust, reliability, communication, service quality, time and cost, and control and improvement aspects of the relationship. The aggregate outcome of the study examines patient readiness to use electronic two-way communication between patient and physician in Jordanian healthcare sector. The theoretical model has been constructed post a review of related previous literature to identify the dependent and independent variables of the study. Data was collected by means of questionnaire survey of patients visiting private hospitals in Amman, Jordan using a simple random sampling method (N=344). The results of this research revealed that the perception of Jordanians of e-Health physician-patient relationship is significantly positive. This perception comes with the belief that e-Health will improve the relationship, save time and money and improve the quality of care. I. INTRODUCTION There is a wealth of research data that supports the benefits of effective communication and health outcomes for patients and healthcare teams. The connection that a patient feels with his physician can ultimately improve their health mediated through participation in their care, adherence to treatment, and patient self-management.

This feasibility study cost estimates that are related to the project for 400 beds hospital consists of four components: market study, technical study,financial study and risk analysis. Investment, running and personnel costs in addition to estimated revenues and cash flows were calculated. The viability of the project was assessed by two indicators, net present value (NPV) at a chosen discount rate which equals the opportunity cost of capital, normally taken as 10%, and the internal rate of return (IRR).

Evaluate the ability of the CRUSADE bleeding risk score (BRS) to predict major bleeding. Methods: Major bleeding events were defined according to the CRUSADE classification and their incidence was evaluated from hospital admis- sion to one year of follow up. The CRUSADE bleeding risk score was calculated for each patient during the index admission. Incidence of major bleeding events was evaluated in each of the bleeding score quintiles. JoPCR1 is a prospective, observational, multicenter registry of consecu- tive patients who underwent PCI at 12 tertiary care centers in Jordan. A case report form was used to record data prospectively at hospital admission, at discharge, and at 1 and 12 months of follow-up.
