ABSTRACT

Background:

Implementation of remote monitoring solutions and digital alerting tools within healthcare has historically been challenging, despite the impetus provided by the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, health systems-based approach to systematically describe the barrier and facilitators across multiple domains has not been undertaken.

Objective:

to undertake a comprehensive mixed-methods analysis of barriers and facilitators for successful implementation of remote monitoring and digital alerting tools within complex health organisations.

Methods:

A mixed-methods approach using a modified Technology Acceptance Model questionnaire and semi-structured interviews mapped to validated HOT-fit framework was undertaken. Likert frequency responses and deductive thematic analyses were performed.

Results:

A total of 11 participants responded to the questionnaire and 18 participants for the interviews. Key barriers and facilitators could be mapped onto 6 dimensions which incorporated aspects for digitisation: system use (human), user satisfaction (human), environment (organisation), structure (organisation), information and service quality (technology), and system quality (technology).

Conclusions:

The recommendations proposed can enhance the potential for future remote sensing solutions to be more successfully integration within healthcare practice, resulting in more successful utilisation of virtual wards. Clinical Trial: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05321004
