As you travel down the road—from treatment to recovery—we invite you to partner with us using a new, technology-driven network. During our journey together, your Hughston doctor and staff want to know how you feel before your appointment, during your treatment, and after your recovery.
It’s simple to use. As a patient, we log your signs and symptoms into your health record, and invite you to enroll by email or text message in our improved care plan. Once you click the link, Patient IQ will prompt you to complete some simple tasks, such as telling us your pain level or answering a three- to five-minute survey specific to your diagnosis.
Your responses are confidential and sent directly to your medical team, who then plans the best possible care for you. As you continue your treatment, we will check with you occasionally for an update on how you are feeling. Our goals with using this new technology are better patient experiences and healthier outcomes for you.
Did You Know?
Dr. Hughston used a type of patient-reported outcomes measure during the 1970s? He developed a questionnaire that asked a patient about their function and pain level. The patient completed the questionnaire during each clinic visit so it covered before, during, and after treatment. The patient completed Dr. Hughston’s preprinted-paper questionnaire with a pen, then the completed survey became a part of the patient’s medical record.
