“…Telehealth and telecare represents attractive and cost-efficient solutions, capable of meeting the health care needs of people living with long-term conditions (Anguita, 2012;Brewster et al, 2014). The government expects that implementation of welfare technology may solve specific challenges and meet the needs of those receiving health care services (Meld.…”

“…The objective is to save both time and money. However, Anguita (2012) pointed to lack of empirical evidence to support the assumption that telecare can provide long-term efficiency gains, and that, if nurses fear losing the possibility to observe the patients' health state, they tend to increase their workload by carrying on with doing as many home visits as they did before. In our project, the nurses questioned the time-saving effect, because many of their assignments were within a small geographical area.…”

“…Brewster, Mountain, Wessels, Kelly, and Hawley (2014) found that a main barrier is lack of acceptance of this new way of working. Therefore, it is of great importance that a nursing staff receives further education and information about telehealth (Anguita, 2012;Brewster et al, 2014).…”

The implementation of welfare technology in Norwegian municipals is a governmental priority, but there is little research on transfer of technological solutions into regular health care services. The aim of the project "Safety at home" was to test and evaluate the use of video communication between patients and health care personnel. There were two test periods, with the initial phase focusing on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The second phase focused on patients who most likely would benefit from video communication. Nine patients tested the equipment, and they were interviewed afterward. In addition, nursing personnel evaluated the project through focus group interviews. The results identified that the equipment was user friendly and contributed to the patients' feelings of safety. However, there were concerns about video calls replacing the "human touch" of home visits. The personnel also experienced that the technological solution had limitations, and new tasks added to their workload. The choice of focusing on COPD patients was considered a disadvantage, and we recommend that future projects should not be restricted by diagnosis and should target the most eligible candidates.

“…Methods to contain healthcare costs while increasing access to healthcare are being sought in countries around the world (Agency for Health Research and Quality, 2008;Anguita, 2012). Telehealth technology has been effective in addressing both of these concerns (Cipriano, 2011;Cusack et al, 2007; Ernesäter, Holmströ m, & Engströ m, 2009).…”

“…Telehealth nurses provide care coordination, patient assessment and education, and follow-up after hospitalization. Telehealth nurses can minimize difficulties caused by distance, time, and costs to provide excellent patient care (American Telemedicine Association, 2008; Anguita, 2012;Bingham, Bevan, & Leask, 2009;Burke, Bynum, HallBarrow, Ott, & Albright, 2008).…”

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that, if not treated promptly and appropriately, can cause complex health complications and mortality. Care models that apply technology, such as telehealth, may be useful in working with diabetes patients. The development and application of wireless communication telehealth have significantly affected healthcare in recent years. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate diabetic patients' use of a telehealth program by using questionnaire survey and laboratory data results. A quantitative study, 1-group pretest-posttest design, was conducted. This study recruited 20 diabetic patients who received telehealth service to measure their glucose, heart rate, and blood pressure, with data uploaded back to the hospital daily. A questionnaire survey was conducted in May 2012 and between August and January 2013 with 20 participants. The test values (blood pressure, heart rate, and blood glucose) of subjects were obtained from the hospital telecare platform and the outpatient monthly reporting system. Study findings showed an overall satisfaction rating of 91% by telehealth participants. Nonparametric statistical analysis demonstrated a significant difference (P < .01) in participants' glycosylated hemoglobin and resultant effective control. These findings indicated that participants accepted this care model, and telehealth could improve participants' glucose control.
