Can you spot two issues with this medical questionnaire sent to patients by the NHS?

There are no descriptions for answers 2, 3 and 4 making it difficult to know exactly what clicking that score would signify.
What is the difference between “Very dissatisfied” and “Not at all satisfied”? They mean practically the same thing!

This example highlights the importance of accuracy and precision when it comes to questionnaires. In PROMs, issues like this may have negative consequences for the effectiveness and potentially the patient’s care.

At MedQ, we ensure that all assessments are accurate and precise.

Watch out for the unintended consequences of green and red tickboxes in medical assessments!

Research suggests that green and red tickboxes increase bias and anxiety for patients. 🔴🟢

Red = "incorrect"
Green = "correct"

This creates a binary view that can lead to patients thinking their health condition is either right or wrong. Imagine the feeling of unease when a patient’s response turns the box red.

At MedQ, we understand that health is complex and sometimes anxiety-inducing, therefore we designed assessments that minimise emotional triggers and respect individual perspectives.
