Service Quality Assessment of Digital Health Solutions in Outpatient Care: Qualitative Item Repository Development Study Background: The integration of digital health solutions (DHSs) into health care systems has the potential to significantly enhance service delivery and health outcomes. Despite their benefits, the adoption remains slow, especially in outpatient care, and is hindered by various barriers, such as unclear effectiveness and high costs. Objective: This study aimed to address the uncertainties regarding the cost-benefit ratio of DHSs by developing a comprehensive instrument to evaluate their impact on health care service quality across diverse settings (eg, across different diseases or types of DHSs). Methods: We conducted a multistaged rapid review and semistructured, qualitative interviews to identify and adapt existing instruments evaluating the effects of DHSs. The first rapid review screened 4957 records and included 40 relevant papers to identify instruments currently used for DHS assessment after their deployment, yielding a total of 126 reported outcomes. Subsequently, we conducted interviews with 19 health care practitioners across 4 countries to validate and refine the 7 health care service quality dimensions derived from merging the Outpatient Experience Questionnaire (OPEQ), selected after the first rapid review, and Health Care Service Quality (HEALTHQUAL), an established instrument for measuring health care service quality derived from gray literature. On the basis of the results of the interviews, a second rapid review with 35 papers out of 493 screened records was conducted to identify instruments used to measure patient satisfaction, yielding a total of 29 patient satisfaction instruments. Results: From the first rapid review, OPEQ was selected out of 18 relevant instruments identified among the 126 reported outcomes and combined with HEALTHQUAL. The interviews with health care professionals confirmed the relevance of all 7 health care service quality dimensions derived from OPEQ and HEALTHQUAL. In addition, 4 interviewees mentioned patient satisfaction as a further dimension missing in the framework presented during the interviews. From the subsequent rapid review, the Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire-Short Form was selected out of 6 relevant instruments identified among the 29 identified patient satisfaction instruments. By combining HEALTHQUAL, OPEQ, and Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire-Short Form, we derived the Digital Healthcare Service Quality (DigiHEALTHQUAL) questionnaire, which consists of 51 items across 8 dimensions, including accessibility, efficiency, empathy, general satisfaction, degree of improvements of care services, information, safety, and tangibles. Conclusions: The DigiHEALTHQUAL questionnaire aims to provide a standardized approach for assessing the impact of DHSs on health care service quality across various use cases, therapeutic areas, and perspectives, facilitating comparison between DHSs and supporting decision makers in resource allocation and implementation decisions. Future research will focus on validating the DigiHEALTHQUAL in real-life settings and further refining it to comprehensively encompass both patient and health care practitioner perspectives.

Patients’ and Health Care Professionals’ Expectations of Virtual Therapeutic Agents in Outpatient Aftercare: Qualitative Survey Study Background: Depression is a serious mental health condition that can have a profound impact on the individual experiencing the disorder and those providing care. While psychotherapy and medication can be effective, there are gaps in current approaches, particularly in outpatient care. This phase is often associated with a high risk of relapse and readmission, and patients often report a lack of support. Socially interactive agents represent an innovative approach to the provision of assistance. Often powered by artificial intelligence (#AI), these virtual agents can interact socially and elicit humanlike emotions. In health care, they are used as virtual therapeutic assistants to fill gaps in outpatient aftercare. Objective: We aimed to explore the expectations of patients with depression and health care professionals by conducting a qualitative survey. Our analysis focused on research questions related to the appearance and role of the assistant, the assistant-patient interaction (time of interaction, skills and abilities of the assistant, and modes of interaction) and the therapist-assistant interaction. Methods: A 2-part qualitative study was conducted to explore the perspectives of the 2 groups (patients and care providers). In the first step, care providers (n=30) were recruited during a regional offline meeting. After a short presentation, they were given a link and were asked to complete a semistructured web-based questionnaire. Next, patients (n=20) were recruited from a clinic and were interviewed in a semistructured face-to-face interview. Results: The survey findings suggested that the assistant should be a multimodal communicator (voice, facial expressions, and gestures) and counteract negative self-evaluation. Most participants preferred a female assistant or wanted the option to choose the gender. In total, 24 (80%) health care professionals wanted a selectable option, while patients exhibited a marked preference for a female or diverse assistant. Regrading patient-assistant interaction, the assistant was seen as a proactive recipient of information, and the patient as a passive one. Gaps in aftercare could be filled by the unlimited availability of the assistant. However, patients should retain their autonomy to avoid dependency. The monitoring of health status was viewed positively by both groups. A biofeedback function was desired to detect early warning signs of disease. When appropriate to the situation, a sense of humor in the assistant was desirable. The desired skills of the assistant can be summarized as providing structure and emotional support, especially warmth and competence to build trust. Consistency was important for the caregiver to appear authentic. Regarding the assistant–care provider interaction, 3 key areas were identified: objective patient status measurement, emergency suicide prevention, and an information tool and decision support system for health care professionals. Conclusions: Overall, the survey conducted provides innovative guidelines for the development of virtual therapeutic assistants to fill the gaps in patient aftercare.
