| Sumario: | To determine the effect of encounter methods on patient experience, we evaluated patient experience survey data comparing scores between telehealth and in-person visits and pre-COVID-19 and COVID-19 time periods. Pediatric subspecialty visits were either in-person or via telehealth and received the same 16-question patient experience survey. Top box (5/5) scores were compared between in-person and telehealth visits for pre-COVID-19 and COVID-19 periods as well as between periods for in-person and telehealth visits. In addition, for both time periods and encounter methods, correlation analysis was performed to evaluate best correlation between <em>likelihood to recommend practice</em> and the 15 other survey questions. Comparing the COVID-19 period data, there was a statistically significant difference in the top box likelihood to recommend practice score comparing in-person to telehealth numbers (81.01% vs 87.13%, p = 0.0003). Comparing pre-COVID-19 with COVID-19, this was not true for in-person scores (79.97% vs 81.01%, p = 0.4060) or telehealth scores (82.50% vs 87.13%, p = 0.2084). The question with the highest correlation coefficient to <em>likelihood to recommend practice</em> was <em>how well staff worked together</em> in both time periods and visit methods. We conclude that <em>Likelihood to recommend</em> experience scores were statistically significantly higher for telehealth as compared to in-person pediatric subspecialty ambulatory visits during the COVID-19 pandemic. There were no such differences in <em>likelihood to recommend</em> comparing pre- vs COVID-19 time periods for either in-person or telehealth visits so the change in scoring seems to be related to the mode of care delivery.
