“…Therefore, customized treatment and healthcare strategies are needed according to the disability severity and type. 14 , 15 , 16 However, previous studies have mainly focused on people with specific types of disabilities such as intellectual, physical disability, and people aged 65 and older. Because of the barriers to accessing healthcare and a high risk of severe cardiovascular diseases, such as stroke, in younger individuals with disabilities, the incidence and long-term trends of stroke should be evaluated in the entire population with disabilities.…”

A lack of personnel in care institutions and high proportions of older people in need of care pose central challenges for today’s aging society, often resulting in the hospitalization of geriatric patients. In many cases, these hospitalizations are not medically necessary and cause deterioration of health. Applying telemedicine in nursing homes represents one approach aimed at a reduction of unnecessary hospitalizations of geriatric patients and supporting care personnel in medically uncertain situations. For a sustainable and successful implementation of technical innovations such as telemedical consultations, the care personnel’s perspectives and acceptance are especially essential. The Optimal@NRW project implemented telemedical consultations in 24 nursing homes in Germany, investigating medical and economic efficiency and in particular also the social acceptance of digital care in nursing homes. This paper presents quantitative results comparing the acceptance evaluations before (PRE: N = 130) and after (POST: N = 87) the implementation of the telemedical consultations in the nursing homes from the perspective of care professionals. The results showed positive evaluations of the telemedical consultations in both evaluation phases: POST evaluations especially showed a lower evaluation of perceived barriers of using telemedical consultations in nursing homes. This study’s insights enable one to derive guidelines and recommendations regarding the communication and information of telemedical applications considering the needs and wishes of care personnel as a central user group.
