“…Although the measure used for this study was closely aligned with the survey used in the Bradley-Klug et al (2010) study, one section was added to assess e-Health technology use in facilitating systems-level communication and collaboration. e-Health, also known as telemedicine and telehealth, is defined as the use of telecommunications technology to support and deliver healthcare from a distance (Grigsby et al, 2002). Based upon the feedback from paediatricians regarding barriers to communication and collaboration, the topic of e-Health was added to this survey to explore the possible benefits of this technology to promoting linkages across systems.…”

There is a critical need to increase communication and collaboration across the educational and medical systems on behalf of students with paediatric health issues.The purpose of the current study was to investigate school psychologists' perceptions of their communication and collaboration practices with paediatric professionals (e.g. paediatricians). Three hundred and forty school psychologists completed a survey that assessed their communication and collaboration practices with paediatric professionals, professional development in paediatric health issues and use of e-Health technology on behalf of students with medical problems. School psychologists reported communicating with paediatric professionals a few times per year (60.6%), collaborating a few times per year (34%) and receiving between one and five hours of professional development on paediatric health issues per year (50.8%). Only a small number of school psychologists used e-Health. Of those respondents, all indicated that it was beneficial to some extent to their practice. The major finding of this study was that interdisciplinary communication and collaboration practices were relatively infrequent. Results from this study can help inform strategies for increased collaboration, pre-service and ongoing training, and future research.

“…In this case, while summative data about individual telemedicine interventions tend to present a picture of clinical and cost effectiveness, as well as high levels of patient satisfaction, systematic reviews demonstrate that many study designs are in fact methodologically weak (Whitten et al, 2002;Mair and Whitten, 2000;Williams et al, 2002;Hersh et al, 2001;Håkansson and Gavelin, 2000).…”

Implementing complex innovations in fluid multi-stakeholder environments: Experiences of ‘telecare’

Abstract'Telecare' is the use of information and communication technology to facilitate health and social care delivery to individuals in their own homes. Governments around the world are seeking to introduce telecare partly to help address the challenges posed by an ageing society. Telecare is inherently complex to implement and operate because it involves combination of technological and organisational innovation in an environment of diverse stakeholders.Using research on two telecare schemes in the UK, the paper explores the way project complexity, organisational context and project management approach interacted during the planning and implementation phases. The paper discusses how insights from research in related areas, including medical technology and service sector innovation in general, could help to explain why From: Technovation (forthcoming) NOT TO BE QUOTED WITHOUT PERMISSION 2 mainstream telecare delivery has been difficult and draws conclusions on the role of project management in the implementation of innovation.

“…Attention subsequently turned to a number of human and organizational variables affecting the acceptance and dissemination of new technologies. [9][10][11][12] The reasons identified for nonuse of telemedicine are many: the equipment often is thought to be inconvenient or is inconveniently located, 13 sometimes the technology is unreliable, [13][14][15] many providers believe that their participation requires too much time, 13,16,17 reimbursement generally is inadequate or unavailable, 18 and the technology is considered by some to be not yet equivalent to in-person care. 18 There have, however, been no large-scale surveys of providers to assess their stated reasons for either embracing or avoiding the technology.…”

Telemedicine as a technology has been available for nearly 50 years, but its diffusion has been slower than many had anticipated. Even efforts to reimburse providers for interactive video (IAV) telemedicine services have had a limited effect on rates of participation. The resulting low volume of services provided (and consequent paucity of research subjects) makes the phenomenon difficult to study. This paper, part of a larger study that also explores telemedicine utilization from the perspectives of referring primary care physicians and telemedicine system administrators, reports the results of a survey of specialist and subspecialist physicians who are users and nonusers of telemedicine. The survey examined self-assessed knowledge and beliefs about telemedicine among users and nonusers, examining also the demographic characteristics of both groups. Statistically significant differences were found in attitudes toward telemedicine between users and nonusers, but in many respects the views of the two groups were rather similar. Physicians who used telemedicine were aware of the limitations of the technology, but also recognized its potential as a means of providing consultation. Demographic differences did not explain the differences in the knowledge and beliefs of user and nonuser consultant physicians, although some of the differences may be explained by other aspects of the professional environment.
