Patient safety and sense of security when telemonitoring chronic conditions at home: the views of patients and healthcare professionals - a qualitative study.
Ekstedt M, Nordheim ES, Hellström A, et al. Patient safety and sense of security when telemonitoring chronic conditions at home: the views of patients and healthcare professionals - a qualitative study. BMC Health Serv Res. 2023;23(1):581. doi:10.1186/s12913-023-09428-1.
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) allows patients to remain in their homes while still receiving disease management. This study involved patients with chronic conditions who were receiving RPM and clinicians (nurses and physicians) who were providing RPM. Clinicians described the importance of knowing patients' level of health literacy and ensuring they understand when someone is reviewing their remote data (e.g., not on weekends). Patients reported feeling more confident, knowing someone was checking on them weekly. Overall, both groups had positive perceptions of patient safety.
