Health care institutions had to adapt new strategies such as virtual clinics to continue delivering care in light of the situation. Virtual clinics and telemedicine are relatively new and limited literature is available regarding patient's experience in SA. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess and evaluate the levels of patients' satisfaction with the experience of services provided by virtual clinics at the Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs. <b>Method:</b> A retrospective cross-sectional study based on secondary data collected by the corporate patient experience department at MNGHA. The analysis included all virtual clinics' visits from four MNGHA regions (Central, Eastern, Western, and AlMadinah) between April 19 and May 15, 2020. <b>Findings:</b> The results showed that more than half of our study participants were females (57%) (N = 7,803) and (64%) (N = 8,696) were between the age of 21-64 years. Most of the participants were from the Central region (73%) (N = 10,026). More than half of virtual visits were to hospitals (66%) (N = 9,098). Results from the ordinal regression showed that age, gender, region and, survey method were significantly associated with extreme satisfaction score (4.21-5.0). Males were more likely to be extremely satisfied than females (OR = 1.088), and patients between the ages of 6-20 were extremely satisfied compared with the age group 41-64 (OR = 1.309). Eastern region was more likely to be extremely satisfied than central region (OR = 1.121). Patients surveyed by calls were more likely to be extremely satisfied compared with SMS surveys (OR = 1.808), whereas facility type showed no significance. The overall satisfaction score was 4.1 out of 5. <b>Interpretation:</b> According to our findings, the majority of patients were satisfied with the experiences of virtual clinics at MNGHA. Therefore, we recommend exploring more frequent use of virtual clinics when appropriate beyond the pandemic. Virtual clinics can minimize the risk of disease transmission, save travel time, and is considered a cost-effective alternative to traditional clinics.</p>","PeriodicalId":54434,"journal":{"name":"Telemedicine and e-Health","volume":" ","pages":"2738-2746"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141565125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
