AbstractHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is considered a chronic disease. Antiretroviral therapy has allowed persons with HIV (PLWHIV) to achieve the 90-90-90 objectives proposed by the World Health Organization for 2020; but an additional challenge is getting an adequate health-related quality of life. A determining factor in the health-related quality of life of PLWHIV is the health care they perceive to receive. In this sense, we aimed to assess the perception of the outpatient care provided and to identify possible areas for improvement in a single-center, cross-sectional study at the HIV unit of Hospital Clínic, Barcelona. We sought patient reported experience measures by an anonymous e-survey with 11 statements based on a 1 to 6 Likert scale, and a final question measuring user satisfaction and loyalty through the Net Promoter Score (NPS). All PLWHIV with at least a clinical visit between January 1, 2020 and October 14, 2021 were invited. Of 5493 PLWHIV e-mailed, 1633 (30%) responded to the survey. The overall evaluation of clinical care was very favorable. The evaluation of the physical environment and facilities and the time spent in the waiting room received the lowest scores. According to the Net Promoter Score test results, 66% of respondents were willing to recommend this service, and 11% were not. Thus, monitoring patient reported experience measures in PLWHIV actively receiving outpatient care in our hospital allowed to identify the users' perception on quality of the care received, to determine the rate of satisfaction with the care, and to identify areas for improvement.Copyright © 2023 the Author(s).
