This project examines the implementation of telecare in home healthcare, focusing on patient self-management and support. It highlights the increasing use of video communications and monitoring devices to improve patient outcomes, particularly among the elderly with chronic conditions. The study collects qualitative and quantitative data to analyze user satisfaction, safety, and the impact on healthcare management. Results suggest that telecare can reduce hospital visits, enhance quality of life, and provide emotional support to patients and their families.

Aim 1 and approach • Applications, list of demands ↓ • Focusgroupe • Users, patients, professionals
Aim 2 and approach • Are users satisfied? ↓ • Installing screens • Education users • Interviews
Aim 3 and approach • Opinion users • patients, family and professionals • satisfaction • selfmanagement ↓ • Interviews with patients and family • Interviews nurses • self- reports • Data • Quantitative • Health-records
Aim 4 and approach • Looking for answers • does the programme work? • do’s and don’t’s • difference using screens instead of telephones? • which barriers and problems? ↓ • Conclusion and report
Primairy outcomes • Contacts between patients and professionals • telephone contacts versus screens • virtual home visits • medical data • kt/v • hb, calc/phosphate, glucose • events, visits out patient clinic, admittance hospital
Secondary outcomes • Satisfaction with application • Level of safety • Level of selfmanagement
Design • Evaluation research • form of research that involves finding out how well a program, practice or procedure is working • non-experimental design • developing a methode to measure behaviour under study • -collecting qualitative and quantitative data Polit F, Hungler P, 1995
Quality • Theory • Bandura’s theory about selfmanagement • Qualitative interviews • validated • self-reports professionals
Quantity • During whole programme • health-care records • electronically
Challenges • Complex intervention • Technical challenges • Other ways of organising work • acceptance professionals
End • ‘It seems that telecare is more difficult to implement than we thought’ • ‘We have seen great telecare projects being not succesfull because somebody had forgotten to involve the nurses and doctors who must work with it’. Wootton R, Norwegian Center of telemedicin, 2011
