“…We updated the previously discussed systematic literature review 7 and located eight published journal articles focused on staff acceptance of typical tele-ICU implementations. Two reported perceptions in anticipation of tele-ICU, 9,10 and two reported on perceptions of hub facility personnel only 11,12 ; the remaining four reported on staff perceptions in hospitals receiving the service. [13][14][15][16] One analyzed interview data, 15 and the other three provided limited information on brief surveys that were collected from a small number of staff.…”

“…Shahpori et al 42 conducted an online survey study with intensivists in a Canadian healthcare organization to assess practitioner knowledge, education, and acceptance of tele-ICU technology. The authors found the practitioners rated their knowledge of and education about the technology as low and expressed little acceptance and significant doubt of the efficacy of tele-ICU technology (Table 1).…”

“…Utilization of telemedicine has also proved to reduce the number of low birth weight deliveries in hospitals without NICUs, and reduce statewide infant mortality . Other studies, however, have questioned its perceived usefulness and impact on existing workload, workflow, and staffing levels . During an evaluation of a telemedicine system and its impact on ICU and non‐ICU mortality, total mortality, and ICU‐specific length of stay, findings have concluded that there is no reduction in mortality, length of stay, or hospital cost attributable to the introduction of the telemedicine …”

Background and aims Little research has been done on tele‐intensive care unit (ICU) implementation across different types of ICUs, and there exist few studies that have used qualitative research methods to analyze the human and organizational factors influencing optimization of telemedicine for newborn resuscitation. The objective of this study was to understand health care professionals' acceptance, utilization, and integration of video telemedicine for newborn resuscitation (termed teleneonatology) in community hospital settings. Methods Focus group and individual interviews were conducted with 49 health care professionals at six affiliated health system hospitals. Data were gathered from physicians (n = 18), nurses (n = 30), and a nurse practitioner. Data were inductively analyzed using a thematic approach, and then constructs from normalization process theory (NPT) were deductively applied. NPT rendered a general framework to describe and assess how care teams perceive the implementation of teleneonatology and how they interact with this telemedicine service in their local setting. Results Local health care professionals accepted teleneonatology as an important, helpful service, yet its implementation was perceived as both valuable and a threat to professional traditions. Utilization may depend on perceived benefit, mutual understanding of the guidelines, and expectations of use, and other relational, human, contextual, and system factors. Participants in this study agreed on the need for collective work to successfully integrate teleneonatology into the local practice. Discussions NPT uncovered that successful implementation of a teleneonatology program may be facilitated by strong interpersonal relationships among care teams, continuous programmatic training and education, and communicating the clinical value of teleneonatology, including its opportunities and benefits.
