Chapter 6 100 This discrepancy between written record and the actual verbally discussed information was mainly observed in one specific hospital in which the list of items to be discussed was prelisted in the electronic patient file. Thirteen out of 23 consultations that contained this discrepancy and all six consultations that erroneously mentioned five or more information items in the patient chart were from this hospital. The mean TCT was 15.91 min (r=7.4 min), and the mean SIT was 8.85 min (r=3.5 min). The percentage of TCT that was spent on SIC was 55.6% (Figure 6.1). Almost all consultations (n=37) were retested by the second author. A kappa coefficient of 0.63 (95% CI, 0.59–0.66) was calculated, which corresponds to the second best kappa coefficient category. This means that the scored results of both authors were similar to a high degree. Figure 6.1 Graphical view of the mean SIT as a part of the mean TCT, which corresponds to 55.6%.
