“…Many population studies report that a respondents level of education strongly predicts their likelihood of involvement [60,61]. This notion received support in the present study with a higher proportion of participants with some post-school qualification as compared to the general population.…”

“…However, studies investigating potential benefits of TH have reported some difficulty in recruitment prior to any experience with TH services, with refusals as substantial as 80 per cent (Mair et al, 2006). In addition to socio-demographic factors such as lower academic attainment (Krousel-Wood et al, 2001), older age, poorer health status and rural locality (Mair et al, 2006;Palmas et al, 2006;Van Beijsterveldt et al, 2002;Radler and Ryff, 2010), reasons given for refusal include beliefs that the technology would not be of benefit, or would add nothing to the care they already receive (Subramanian et al, 2004). A qualitative study within the Whole System Demonstrator (WSD) programme, reported three key reservations expressed by patients and carers for non-participation: interventions could undermine self-care, independence and sense of identity; concerns about technical competence to use equipment; and expectations that interventions would disrupt existing services (Sanders et al, 2012).…”

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Permanent repository link AbstractPurpose -The widespread deployment of telehealth (TH) has been conducted in the absence of any clear understanding of how acceptable these devices are to patients. One potential limitation of the widespread deployment of TH is that patients may refuse. Moreover an understanding of the reasons for refusing to use TH devices will provide an understanding of the barriers. Design/methodology/approach -This investigation from the Whole Systems Demonstrator (WSD) programme, a pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial into the effectiveness of TH, examined reasons for patients in the intervention cohort of the trial refusing TH, and the potential barriers to its deployment. Findings -Active rejection of the TH intervention was the most frequent reason for withdrawal. After examination of trial-related, health, socio-demographic, cognitive, emotional and behavioural factors, patients diagnosed with diabetes, as opposed to heart failure or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and patients' beliefs about the acceptability of the intervention predicted whether or not they withdrew from the trial because of the intervention. Originality/value -Beliefs that the TH intervention resulted in increased accessibility to care, satisfaction with equipment and fewer concerns about the privacy, safety and discomfort associated with using TH equipment predicted continued participation in the WSD trial. Findings suggest that potentially modifiable beliefs about TH predict those more likely to reject the intervention. These findings have important implications for understanding individual differences in the acceptance of TH and subsequent success in mainstreaming TH in healthcare services.

“…1-3 A few studies have addressed patients' willingness to use telemedicine services using standard survey questions. 4,5 Qureshi and Kvedar previously reported that more than 50% of dermatology patients coming to tertiary care hospital practices are amenable to interacting with their dermatologist online and agreeable to having digital skin images sent online. 6,7 In this study, we used a willingness-to-pay (WTP) approach to evaluate patient preferences for telemedicine versus in-person visits.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate willingness-to-pay stated preferences for telemedicine versus in-person clinic visits in patients with a history of psoriasis or melanoma. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with 92 (n = 92) adult participants with a history of psoriasis or melanoma recruited primarily from hospital-based dermatology practices. Data were collected on patient demographics and willingness-to-pay responses. In a combined analysis for patients with melanoma and psoriasis, 73% of participants preferred telemedicine over in-person visits if access to the physician was quicker. The majority of those choosing telemedicine (95%) were also willing to pay a median of 25 dollars(5 dollars-500 dollars) out-of-pocket. When time to see a physician was held constant for telemedicine and in-person visits, 19% of participants preferred telemedicine and about 58% of these participants were willing to pay a median of 25 dollars(10 dollars-125 dollars) out-of-pocket. This preliminary work suggests that dermatology patients prefer telemedicine if this modality provides quicker access to their physician.
