Addressing pilotitis: A qualitative study on the implementation of eCoaches in hospital-based chronic care
This study underscores the complex nature of implementing eCoaches within the hospital setting, where barriers and facilitators span multiple interrelated domains. To overcome "pilotitis" and achieve the sustainable integration of blended care for patients with chronic conditions, comprehensive implementation strategies that concurrently address all relevant domains are essential. By illuminating the experiences of healthcare professionals, this study offers actionable insights to guide the design, implementation, and upscaling of eCoaches and related eHealth technologies.
