“…Importance-Performance analysis (IPA) is a technique originally developed by Martilla and James to identify management priorities [ 25 ] and has been wide application in various sectors such as education [ 26 , 27 ], tourism [ 28 , 29 ], and health care [ 30 , 31 ]. In this study, we adapted a variant of the traditional IPA as proposed by Yavas et al [ 32 ] to identify existing problems and find breakpoint to improve DPR from the patient’s perspective.…”

Objective To assess the quality of the doctor-patient relationship (DPR) in China and possible influencing factors during the COVID-19 period from the patient’s perspective. Methods An online survey was carried out nationwide from March 12, 2020 to March 30, 2020 in China via a convenience sampling strategy. Patients who met the inclusion criteria were invited to complete a questionnaire regarding the quality of DPR, including sociodemographic information, the Patient-Doctor Relationship Questionnaire (PDRQ-9), and influencing factors for DPR during the pandemic. Results A total of 1903 patients were included. Our result showed that participants had a higher PDRQ-9 score during the COVID-19 pandemic (4.18 ± 0.51) than that before the COVID-19 pandemic (3.86 ± 0.67). Importance-performance analysis (IPA) revealed that doctor-patient communication, patient satisfaction, consultation time, doctor’s attitude, and medical knowledge were specific aspects that needed to be prioritized to improve the DPR. Multiple linear regression analysis suggested that positive media reports, telemedicine, and national policies had a significantly positive effect on the DPR during the pandemic (P < 0.05). Conclusion In general, the DPR had been improved during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our research found the key points that needed to be prioritized to improve the DPR during the pandemic, which may provide effective suggestions for building a harmonious DPR in the future.

“…After initial analysis, we displayed the emerged themes according to Park's et al model of the importance performance analysis (IPA, = needs assessment) ( 44 ), which aids to identify key themes of high importance with low performance, where focused improvement is needed and deemed to be fruitful (see Figure 1 ).…”

Targeted Training for Subspecialist Care in Children With Medical Complexity

et al. 2022

BackgroundChildren with medical complexity (CMC) are prone to medical errors and longer hospital stays, while residents do not feel prepared to provide adequate medical care for this vulnerable population. No educational guidance for the training of future pediatric tertiary care specialists outside their field of expertise involving the multidisciplinary care of CMC exists. We investigated pediatric residents past educational needs and challenges to identify key learning content for future training involving care for CMC.MethodsThis was a prospective mixed-methods study at a single pediatric tertiary care center. Qualitative semi-structured interviews with residents were conducted, submitted to thematic content analysis, linked to the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) general pediatrics content outline, and analyzed with importance performance analysis (IPA). Quantitative validation was focused on key themes of pediatric nephrology within the scope of an online survey among pediatric residents and specialists.ResultsA total of 16 interviews, median duration 69 min [interquartile range IQR 35], were conducted. The 280 listed themes of the ABP general pediatrics content outline were reduced to 165 themes, with 86% (theoretical) knowledge, 12% practical skills, and 2% soft skills. IPA identified 23 knowledge themes to be of high importance where improvement is necessary and deemed fruitful. Quantitative validation among 84 residents and specialists (response rate 55%) of key themes in nephrology yielded high agreement among specialists in pediatric nephrology but low interrater agreement among trainees and “trained” non-nephrologists. The occurrence of themes in the qualitative interviews and their calculated importance in the quantitative survey were highly correlated (tau = 0.57, p = 0.001). Two clusters of high importance for other pediatric specialties emerged together with a contextual cluster of frequent encounters in both in- and outpatient care.ConclusionRegarding patient safety, this study revealed the heterogeneous aspects and the importance of training future pediatric tertiary care specialists outside their field of expertise involving the multidisciplinary care of CMC. Our results may lay the groundwork for future detailed analysis and development of training boot camps that might be able to aid the improvement of patient safety by decreasing preventable harm by medical errors, especially for vulnerable patient groups, such as CMC in tertiary care pediatrics.

“…Numerous studies have focused on the adoption of IPA in HE (Mallya & Patwardhan, 2018). Eun, In, and Mi (2017) used IPA to examine the tasks of nutrition teachers and dietitians in elementary, middle, and high schools in the three categories of foodservice operation, nutrition, and dietary life education. Mallya and Patwardhan (2018) used IPA to evaluate the quality of college library services to identify key areas for improvement to enhance overall user satisfaction.…”

This study evaluated the organizational identity perceptions of teachers in teacher departments. Based on a literaturereview, this research regards organizational identity as being composed of mind identity, behavior identity, and visualidentity. Fieldwork was conducted, and 180 students in teacher departments were asked to participate in the study.After valid questionnaires were received, SPSS 22.0 was used for analysis. Importance and performance analysis(IPA) is a strategic tool that was used in this study to capture staff requirements for achieving high satisfaction andallocating resources in teacher departments. There were eight, eight, two, and two attributes in Quadrants I, II, III,and IV, respectively. The results of this study could be useful for policymakers and scholars. Policymakers couldlearn from the IPA results and the prioritized variables, and researchers could gain a better understanding of theorganizational identity of universities.
