Summary
Telemonitoring of patients with chronic diseases shows potential for improved quality of community based care resulting in fewer hospital admissions. Questions remain about how best to employ the technology, staff roles and how to integrate the intervention into existing healthcare practice and community based care. A previous retrospective analysis of telemonitoring study within South Western Sydney indicated the need to understand in more detail how the program was being implemented. Theory/Methods: The aim of the study is to identify the challenges and lessons of the telemonitoring implementation in the District, and identify strategies to inform the future implementation of telemonitoring initiatives. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with a purposive diverse sample. It consisted of managers, administrators and clinicians involved in implementing telemonitoring, as well as those from the private telemonitoring services provider.
