Does self-monitoring/testing telemedicine result in comparable patient or provider satisfaction with care?
We found no studies that reported provider satisfaction in this study area.81, 82 cardiovascular disease,83 pulmonary disease,84 hypertension,76 and general chronic diseases (see Evidence Table 6). Three of these studies were randomized trials76, 77, 82 and three were case series with convenience samples.81, 83, 84 In the controlled studies, satisfaction was reported for the intervention groups, but not for the control groups. Thus, the evidence shows that self-monitoring/testing leads to patient satisfaction that is comparable to usual care methods.
