“…Our other main discovery was that the attitudes towards digitalisation of health care were mostly positive among both student groups. According to earlier studies, health care professionals generally have positive attitudes towards eHealth services [21][22][23] and telemedicine [24][25][26], which is in line with our findings. However, mixed and even negative attitudes among health care professionals have also been reported in several earlier studies [27][28][29][30].…”

“…This was emphasized as very important while communicating with the patient at a distance. 38 Furthermore, the participants suggested that there should be also a form of financial support for doctors who continuously and remotely monitor patients. This was strongly supported by the group of healthcare professionals who felt that the application of sensor-based platforms would reduce the number of visits.…”

The continuous monitoring of chronic diseases serves as one of the cornerstones in the efforts to improve the quality of life of patients and maintain the healthcare services provided to them. This study aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the perspectives of healthcare professionals on using sensor-based networks (SBN) used for remote and continuous monitoring of patients with chronic illness in Kosovo, a developing country. A qualitative research method was used to interview 26 healthcare professionals. The study results demonstrate the positive attitudes of participants to using SBN, and considers their concerns on the impact of these platforms on the patient’s life, the number of visits in the medical centre, data privacy concerning interactions between patients and their medical personnel and the costs of the platform. Further to that, the study makes an important contribution to knowledge by identifying the challenges and drawbacks of these platforms and provides recommendations for system designers.

“…In this regard, some studies have investigated the impact of pandemics on the attitudes of healthcare professionals and the challenges they face [ [26] , [27] , [28] ]. Overall, positive attitudes of healthcare professionals towards patient safety [ 29 ], privacy [ 30 ], and technology-enabled approaches such as remote monitoring of patients [ 31 ] have been observed. In relation to the COVID-19 outbreak, the work environment has varied greatly from a normal healthcare setting to a situation that involves rapid changes in service delivery, procedures and compliance, ethical issues, and treatment preferences related to the support and acceptance of patients, among other factors.…”

Background Some previous studies have investigated the attitudes of healthcare professionals towards certain aspects of the COVID-19 outbreak. In addition, some general frameworks have been proposed to manage the pandemic. Objective The purpose of this article was to analyze the attitudes of healthcare practitioners in Saudi Arabia towards the treatment of patients with COVID-19, work planning of practitioners, leadership approaches to manage the pandemic, sharing information strategies, medical errors, compliance with procedures, and challenges faced by the practitioners. Furthermore, another objective was to propose a general framework for managing the COVID-19 outbreak in Saudi Arabia. Methods To achieve these purposes, a survey was designed based on an online questionnaire that was initially sent via WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook, and email to 336 healthcare practitioners working in 7 hospitals in Saudi Arabia. The response rate was 30.4%. Results The outcomes indicated that healthcare practitioners in Saudi Arabia had positive attitudes towards effective communication and interaction between health professionals and patients, leadership and maintenance of team coordination, work planning, communication and cooperation between team members, training and skills development of healthcare professionals, implementing strict procedures to avoid errors and control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, maintaining an adequate supply of medicines and medical equipment, and obtaining the support of the government, the community, and the people. Conclusion Based on the findings, it was possible to suggest that the management of health care operations related to the COVID-19 outbreak in Saudi Arabia requires effective collaboration and information sharing among various stakeholders. In this sense, communication, effective leadership, coordination and work planning, adequate treatment for patients, strict compliance with hospital rules and procedures, preventive and regulatory measures, and training and support for health professionals, were parameters considered in the general qualitative framework suggested in this study for managing the COVID-19 pandemic in Saudi Arabia. The propositions presented in this study can help the Saudi Arabian government implement an effective plan to control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in this country.
