Health Care Professionals’ Perspectives on Using eHealth Tools in Advanced Home Care: Qualitative Interview Study
The study underscores the importance of eHealth tools in enhancing advanced home care while maintaining the HCP-patient relationship. While eHealth tools modify care delivery techniques, they do not impact the core dynamics of the relationships between HCPs and patients. While most of the HCPs in the study had a positive attitude toward using the eHealth tools, understanding the challenges they encounter is crucial for improving user acceptance and success in implementation. Future development should focus on features that not only improve efficiency but also actively enhance HCP-patient relationships, such as facilitating more meaningful interactions and supporting personalized care in the advanced home care setting.
