Objective:

To evaluate the implementation of Miri-Alimi, a mobile previsit questionnaire system, in a cardiology outpatient clinic, focusing on participation rates, completeness of EMR documentation, and satisfaction among patients and healthcare providers.

Approach:

• Study Design: A single-center prospective study conducted at a tertiary hospital's outpatient cardiology clinic.
• Patient Enrollment: 751 patients were invited to use Miri-Alimi, categorized into new patients with cardiovascular disease and repeat patients with heart failure.
• Ethical Approval: Ethical approval was obtained, and informed consent was collected electronically from participants.

Key Findings:

• Miri-Alimi was developed to enhance outpatient documentation and improve patient-clinician communication.
• The system aims to lower digital barriers and facilitate integration with the hospital's EMR system.
• Prior studies indicate that approximately 70% of PGHD implementations lack effective EHR linkage.

Interpretation:

Limitations:

• The study was conducted at a single center, which may limit the generalizability of the findings.
• Participants without access to mobile phones or those with severe impairments were excluded.

Conclusion:

Miri-Alimi aims to improve the management of patients with cardiovascular diseases by enhancing data collection and communication between patients and healthcare providers.
