A study on the implementation of large-scale home telemonitoring service

We present the early findings from a longitudinal study of a multi-site home telemonitoring program for chronic disease management. The study aims to find out how the telehealth service is integrated into existing models of care at each site and how it impacts on practices and care processes within each particular setting. We identified potential implementation barriers perceived by clinicians. We highlight differences in healthcare settings and various ways that structures and practices have been configured in these sites. Our study seeks to expend the focus of research longitudinally and across different local settings and contributes to recent research in large-scale and home care applications.
