“…The meeting called for the legal blood alcohol limit for drivers in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland to be reduced to bring it in line with other European countries 2. Excluding Scotland, it’s currently legal to drive in the UK with a blood alcohol concentration up to 80 mg alcohol per 100 mL blood—the highest level in Europe.…”

Background Telemedicine is a potential option for caring for older adults with multimorbidity. There is a need to explore the perceptions about telemedicine among older adults with multimorbidity to tailor it to the needs of older adults with multiple chronic conditions. Objective This study aims to explore the perceptions about telemedicine among older patients with multimorbidity. Methods A qualitative study was conducted using semistructured interviews. The interview questions examined older adults’ perspectives about telemedicine, including their expectations regarding telemedicine services and the factors that affect its use. Thematic analysis was performed using NVivo (version 12; Lumivero). The study was reported using the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research guidelines. Results In total, 29 patients with multimorbidity—21 (72%) female patients and 8 (28%) male patients with a mean age of 69 (SD 10.39) years—were included. Overall, 4 themes and 7 subthemes emerged: theme 1—perceived benefit of telemedicine among older adults with multimorbidities, theme 2—appropriate use of telemedicine for multimorbid care, theme 3—telemedicine system catering to the needs of older patients, and theme 4—respect patients’ decision to decline to use telemedicine. Conclusions Telemedicine for older adults with multimorbidity should focus on those with stable conditions. This can help increase access to care for those requiring continuous condition monitoring. A structured telemedicine program and patient-centered services can help increase patient acceptance of telemedicine. However, health care providers must accept the limitations of older patients that may prevent them from receiving telemedicine services.

BACKGROUND Telemedicine is a potential platform for caring for older adults with multimorbidity. There is a need to explore the perceptions of telemedicine among older adults with multimorbidity to tailor it to the needs of older adults with multiple chronic conditions. OBJECTIVE To explore the perceptions of telemedicine among older patients with multimorbidity. METHODS A qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured interviews. The interview questions examined older adults’ perspectives of telemedicine, including their expectations of telemedicine services and the factors that affect its usage. Thematic analysis was used for analysis by NVivo version 12. The study was reported using the SRQR guidelines. RESULTS Twenty-nine patients with multimorbidity, 21 female and 8 male patients with a mean age of 69 ± 10.39 were included. Four themes and seven subthemes emerged. Theme 1: Perceived benefit of telemedicine among older adults with multimorbidities; Theme 2: Appropriate use of telemedicine for multimorbid care; Theme 3: Telemedicine system catering to the needs of older patients; Theme 4: Respect patients’ refusal from using telemedicine. CONCLUSIONS Telemedicine for older adults with multimorbidity should focus on those with stable conditions. This can help increase access to care for those requiring continuous condition monitoring. A structured telemedicine program and patient-centered services can help increase patient acceptance of telemedicine. However, healthcare providers must accept the limitations of elderly patients that may prevent them from receiving telemedicine services.
