Telehealth service design David Barrett Nurse Lecturer in Telehealth WSDAN Roadshow 30th June 2011
Objectives • To discuss the fundamental elements of telemonitoring services • To evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of different models for clinical and technical triage • To explore some of the other key questions to be answered when developing a telemonitoring service
Basic model of telemonitoring Not an emergency service Output Input Process
Triage model 1: Centralised technical triage; localised clinical triage
Other issues when designing services… • Where will referrals come from? • How will education and installation be organised? • Which groups of users will be targeted? • Which conditions? • Which point on the disease pathway? • How long should telemonitoring remain in situ for? • What should we measure? Goodlin, S. J. J Am CollCardiol 2009;54:386-396
Summary – the key questions • How will you recruit patients? • How will you educate and consent patients? • Who will install and maintain? • How will you deal with technical problems? • How will you triage and respond to clinical data? • How long will you deploy for? • How will you manage removals?
