Evaluation of a Telemonitoring System Using Electronic National Early Warning Scores for Patients Receiving Medical Home Care: Pilot Implementation Study
This study demonstrated the feasibility of implementing a telehealth system integrated with e-NEWS in iHBMC settings, potentially aiding in the early detection of clinical deterioration. Although caregivers receive training and resources for their tasks, the system may increase their workload, which could lead to higher stress levels. The small sample size, short monitoring duration, and regional focus in central Taiwan may further limit the applicability of the findings to areas with differing countries, regions, and health care infrastructures. Further research is required to confirm its impact.
