Now, imagine a visit where you are spending more time with the doctor than in the waiting room, in and out of the office in a jiffy, and engaging with the doctor on more than just the symptoms and treatments. This isn\u2019t too good to be true and surprisingly, the patient\u2019s office visit experience begins with a patient engagement survey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the full office visit experience in mind, one of our recent QuestionPro survey updates\u2014the Homunculus question\u2014was built with the purpose of improving efficiency and the doctor-patient relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What is the QuestionPro Homunculus question type?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Homunculus question type captures visual patient data, based on patients choosing the area of discomfort felt in the body. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While still being part of short patient engagement surveys, this single question type can pinpoint 24 pain locations on the front and 29 locations on the back of the human body, allowing healthcare professionals to gain a preliminary, but clear idea of patient status. As a result, this leads the exam room conversations in greater detail and creates a more efficient and improved experience for those involved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36321\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Photo1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Homunculus question type in patient engagement survey\" width=\"416\" height=\"370\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Adding the Homunculus Question to Your Survey<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as with all QuestionPro question types, the Homunculus survey question is supported on mobile devices, and can be taken offline with the QuestionPro Offline Mobile app.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Homunculus question types can be added simply by going into the \u201cAdvanced Question Types\u201d list, and then selecting the \u201cHealthcare\u201d questions category.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36327\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/photo2-1.jpg\" alt=\"How to add the Homunculus question to your patient engagement survey\" width=\"452\" height=\"222\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Why It\u2019s Useful<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of QuestionPro\u2019s healthcare clients have found this question type to change the way they work with patients by using it in one of two ways: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>1.) \u00a0On-Premise:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Personal physical data is collected from the patient with a short survey by way of a tablet and the QuestionPro Offline Mobile App. Often, these surveys are taken while patients are in the waiting room, before meeting with the doctor, so that each appointment can be more productive and focused on building the doctor-patient relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2.) Remote Assistance:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Because the development of technology has generated a new lifestyle around the world, remote doctor assistance has also become increasingly common. As remote doctors, several QuestionPro users send email surveys to patients with the intent to gain an initial understanding of the patient\u2019s condition prior to starting a video conference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Photo3-1.jpg\" alt=\"Pinpoint areas of discomfort visually and easily\" width=\"452\" height=\"493\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Discovering Patient History<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To improve the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/survey-templates\/health-care-surveys\/\">healthcare survey<\/a> experience even more, QuestionPro\u2019s API integration also allows doctors and medical institutions to retrieve patient history and past medical records, requiring less work from the patient and giving doctors the most accurate patient insight to personalize and ask the most appropriate questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Learn More:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/survey-templates\/fitness-class-survey-questions\/\">Fitness Class Survey Questions Template<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Think about the last time you visited a doctor\u2019s office\u2014 were you filling out a patient survey by pen and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":122,"featured_media":36447,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6,187],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Improving the Healthcare Experience with Patient Engagement Surveys | QuestionPro<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"QuestionPro&#039;s recent update to patient engagement surveys.
