[Integration of the Insured Person's Perspective in the Quality Assessment of Medical Evaluations]. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • In Switzerland, insured individuals undergoing medical evaluations for disability often feel they can't give feedback on their treatment by medical experts, raising concerns about being respected and treated with dignity.
  • To address this issue, a new tool called the Basel Fairness Questionnaire (BFQ) was developed, featuring 30 statements related to the evaluation experience, which respondents rate on a scale from disagreement to agreement.
  • A study involving 305 disability pension claimants validated the BFQ, showing it effectively assesses fairness in medical evaluations and can enhance quality assurance in this critical field.

Article Abstract

Integration of the Insured Person's Perspective in the Quality Assessment of Medical Evaluations In the current practice of medical work disability evaluations and other pension assessments, insured persons in Switzerland lack the possibility to routinely provide feedback on the extent to which they felt treated with dignity and respect by medical experts, which, according to occasional complaints, does not always seem to be the case. In order to be able to systematically capture such aspects of interactive fairness, we developed a questionnaire, the Basel Fairness Questionnaire (BFQ). The BFQ contains 30 statements such as «The reviewer listened to me.», which the insured person can agree to on four levels (from «I do not agree at all.» to «I fully agree.»). For validating the questionnaire, 305 claimants for disability pensions completed the BFQ after their medical work disability evaluation. A factor analysis conducted on the answered questions confirmed our assumption that the BFQ questions covered the areas of 1) , 2) , 3) , and 4) . Furthermore, our study demonstrated divergent and convergent validity of the BFQ with other questionnaire instruments. The BFF opens up the possibility to capture the abstract concept of fairness by means of assessments of concrete expert behavior. We expect that the questionnaire can thus contribute to quality assurance in this sensitive area.
