Learning through telemedicine: case study of a wound care network

Implementing telemedicine through eListening in hospital-in-the-home units

“…Furthermore, this information is really necessary to improve healthcare services and transform them into competitive advantages. This finding corroborates the notions of Deng et al (2005) that although telemedicine technology represents an important source of competitive advantage in competitive markets, only if aligned with patient demands can this potential source become a powerful tool for success. With regard to H3, our results show a bi-directional association between telemedicine technology and business performance.…”

“…However, our study is in line with other researchers (e.g. Deng et al, 2005;Lockamy & Smith, 2009), who argue that eListening has considerable potential to contribute to efficient telemedicine, gains and cost reductions for healthcare organisations.…”

“…Gold, Malhotra, and Segars (2001) draw attention to the fact that technology cannot predefine and predict who the right person is, what the right time is, or what constitutes the right information; only individuals can apply their own experience and contextual understanding to interpret the details and implications of a particular situation, subsequently determining the appropriate action or actions to take. Therefore, telemedicine networks' failure to provide full performance benefits is a result of a mismatch between the technology and context (Deng, Poole, Scheideman-Miller, & Brown, 2005). In this regard, scholars have identified lack of knowledge as a key information-inhibiting factor, affecting systems' evolution and sophistication (Deng et al, 2005).…”

Analyse des facteurs influençant l’émergence des pratiques de télémédecine : le cas des Maisons de Santé en France

“…Comme le soulignait Edmondson et al (2001), l'implémentation d'une innovation technologique dans le domaine médical est davantage un défi organisationnel que technique . Les expérimentations de télémédecine en difficulté peuvent ainsi être appréhendées comme le résultat d'une inadéquation entre la technologie et le contexte (Deng et al, 2005, Cegarra-Navarro et Sanchez-Polo, 2010 .…”
