“…When possible, patients' general practitioners participated from patients' homes [36,42,43]. In four papers, videotelephone was used for individual contact between patients and health care professionals for support, symptom management [34,37,38], and dignity psychotherapy [29]. Webinar technology without video was used to enhance patients' knowledge and skills about end-of-life issues and conversations [31].…”

Background Telehealth is increasingly being used in home care and could be one measure to support the needs of home-based patients receiving palliative care. However, no previous scoping review has mapped existing studies on the use of telehealth for patients in palliative home care. Objective The aim of this study was to map and assess published studies on the use of telehealth for patients in palliative home care. Methods A scoping review was conducted using the methodological framework of Arksey and O’Malley. Reporting was guided by Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. A systematic and comprehensive search of Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health was performed for studies published between January 2000 and October 2018. Two authors independently assessed eligibility and extracted data. Results The review included 22 papers from 19 studies. Four thematic groupings were identified among the included papers: easy and effortless use of telehealth regardless of the current health condition, visual features that enhance communication and care via telehealth, symptom management and self-management promotion by telehealth, and perceptions of improved palliative care at home. Conclusions The use of telehealth in palliative home care seems to be feasible, improving access to health care professionals at home and enhancing feelings of security and safety. The visual features of telehealth seem to allow a genuine relationship with health care professionals. However, there are contradicting results on whether the use of telehealth improves burdensome symptoms and quality of life. Future research should investigate the experiences of using telehealth among patients with life-limiting illness other than cancer and patients aged 85 years or older. More research is needed to increase the body of knowledge regarding the effectiveness of telehealth on symptoms and quality of life.

“…2,3 A similar study in the Capital Health Authority in Edmonton, Alberta, tested the usability of a videophone in palliative home care. 4 Both studies found that the technology enhanced communication between home care clients and health-care providers, and concluded that the videophones were user-friendly and generally well accepted. While both studies reported positive results, their small sample sizes limited the generalizability of their results.…”

Analysis of the suitability of 'video-visits' for palliative home care: implications for practice

et al. 2007

We conducted a retrospective chart review to estimate the extent to which palliative home care visits could be carried out using videophones and to explore factors that might inform the eligibility criteria for video-visits. Four hundred palliative home care health records of deceased clients from 2002 were randomly selected from the Health Records Office in one Canadian health region. One visit was randomly selected from each of these health records. Three hundred and fifty-four visits were coded, and based on professional nursing judgment, the coder estimated whether video-visits could have been carried out. Approximately 43% of the visits were considered appropriate for video-visits. The results suggest that four factors may inform eligibility and decisions about a client's suitability for video-visits: diagnosis (cancer versus non-cancer), low Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS) score, no care-giver present, number and types of interventions required. Patients with a cancer diagnosis were more likely to be suitable for video-visits, which suggests that disease trajectory, rather than diagnosis of 'palliative', may be more influential in determining the care required and appropriateness of videophone use.

Our robust and secure remote treatment planning solution grants DoD patients not only access to a state-of-the-art treatment modality, but also participation in the treatment planning process by Walter Reed Army Medical Center radiation oncologists and medical physicists. This telemedicine system has the potential to lead to a greater integration of military treatment facilities and/or satellite clinics into regional proton therapy centers.
