BackgroundInformation and communication technologies (ICTs) are becoming an impetus for quality health care delivery by nurses. The use of ICTs by nurses can impact their practice, modifying the ways in which they plan, provide, document, and review clinical care.ObjectiveAn overview of systematic reviews was conducted to develop a broad picture of the dimensions and indicators of nursing care that have the potential to be influenced by the use of ICTs.MethodsQuantitative, mixed-method, and qualitative reviews that aimed to evaluate the influence of four eHealth domains (eg, management, computerized decision support systems [CDSSs], communication, and information systems) on nursing care were included. We used the nursing care performance framework (NCPF) as an extraction grid and analytical tool. This model illustrates how the interplay between nursing resources and the nursing services can produce changes in patient conditions. The primary outcomes included nurses’ practice environment, nursing processes, professional satisfaction, and nursing-sensitive outcomes. The secondary outcomes included satisfaction or dissatisfaction with ICTs according to nurses’ and patients’ perspectives. Reviews published in English, French, or Spanish from January 1, 1995 to January 15, 2015, were considered.ResultsA total of 5515 titles or abstracts were assessed for eligibility and full-text papers of 72 articles were retrieved for detailed evaluation. It was found that 22 reviews published between 2002 and 2015 met the eligibility criteria. Many nursing care themes (ie, indicators) were influenced by the use of ICTs, including time management; time spent on patient care; documentation time; information quality and access; quality of documentation; knowledge updating and utilization; nurse autonomy; intra and interprofessional collaboration; nurses’ competencies and skills; nurse-patient relationship; assessment, care planning, and evaluation; teaching of patients and families; communication and care coordination; perspectives of the quality of care provided; nurses and patients satisfaction or dissatisfaction with ICTs; patient comfort and quality of life related to care; empowerment; and functional status.ConclusionsThe findings led to the identification of 19 indicators related to nursing care that are impacted by the use of ICTs. To the best of our knowledge, this was the first attempt to apply NCPF in the ICTs’ context. This broad representation could be kept in mind when it will be the time to plan and to implement emerging ICTs in health care settings.Trial RegistrationPROSPERO International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews: CRD42014014762; http://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/display_record.asp?ID=CRD42014014762 (Archived by WebCite at http://www.webcitation.org/6pIhMLBZh)

“…It could be an option chosen, especially among the elderly with multimorbidity, to monitor their health status and to remind them about taking medications rather than the necessity to adopt. The systematic review of virtual visits was presented by Husebø et al [ 24 ]. Another aspect could be the fact that older people still prefer face-to-face visits what makes newer models of providing e-health very challenging to adopt among this age group [ 25 ].…”

The emerging wearable medical devices open up new opportunities for the provision of health services and promise to accelerate the development of novel telemedical services. The main objective of this study was to investigate the desirable features and applications of telemedical services for the Polish older adults delivered by wearable medical devices. The questionnaire study was conducted among 146 adult volunteers in two cohorts (C.1: <65 years vs. C.2: ≥65 years). The analysis was based on qualitative research and descriptive statistics. Comparisons were performed by Pearson’s chi-squared test. The questionnaire, which was divided into three parts (1-socio-demographic data, needs, and behaviors; 2-health status; 3-telemedicine service awareness and device concept study), consisted of 37 open, semi-open, or closed questions. Two cohorts were analyzed (C.1: n = 77; mean age = 32 vs. C.2: n = 69; mean age = 74). The performed survey showed that the majority of respondents were unaware of the telemedical services (56.8%). A total of 62.3% of C.1 and 34.8% of C.2 declared their understanding of telemedical services. The 10.3% of correct explanations regarding telemedical service were found among all study participants. The most desirable feature was the detection of life-threatening and health-threatening situations (65.2% vs. 66.2%). The findings suggest a lack of awareness of telemedical services and the opportunities offered by wearable telemedical devices.

“…This is another quality enhancing measure noted elsewhere. [39,40] Further research should investigate if trainees hold the same opinions of the positive potential in virtual visits also after using them in real practice settings.…”

Background: The provision and use of telecare services implies new ways of working for home healthcare staff. To gain the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for sound telecare practice, staff are in need of thorough training opportunities. Simulation has been suggested as a useful approach to prepare healthcare professionals for providing telecare services. The aim of this study was to test and evaluate a simulation-based telecare training program for qualified healthcare professionals and explore whether it met intended training objectives from the perspective of the trainees. Methods: A total of 14 healthcare professionals working in home healthcare services participated in up to two training sessions, each across two separate days. Data were collected by way of four tape-recorded focus group interviews and field notes from non-participant observations of eight simulation sessions, and were analysed by way of systematic text condensation. Results: The analysis resulted in seven categories addressing trainees' experiences of partaking in simulated virtual visits; their perceptions of simulation-based telecare training; and their views on the main learning outcomes from the simulation-based training program in question. Conclusions: Simulation-based training provides trainees with realistic insight into the knowledge and skills required for new ways of working through telecare and can thus be a useful way of preparing healthcare professionals for the delivery of telecare services such as virtual home healthcare visits.
