Digital Home Monitoring—Responsibilities and Task Distribution: A Qualitative Study of Health Professionals in Hospitals

The study suggests that the transition to digital home monitoring is closely linked to how technological changes influence professional roles, competencies and the organisation of tasks, reflecting the interdependence between technology, tasks, structure and actors described in Leavitt's Diamond. Ensuring adequate training, organisational support and resources may facilitate smoother integration of digital solutions and improved outcomes for both patients and healthcare professionals. Future research should focus on the experiences of healthcare professionals with digital home monitoring in hospital settings, emphasising how these digital tools influence clinical workflows, patient engagement and the broader organisational context in healthcare.

Abstract

The study suggests that the transition to digital home monitoring is closely linked to how technological changes influence professional roles, competencies and the organisation of tasks, reflecting the interdependence between technology, tasks, structure and actors described in Leavitt's Diamond. Ensuring adequate training, organisational support and resources may facilitate smoother integration of digital solutions and improved outcomes for both patients and healthcare professionals. Future research should focus on the experiences of healthcare professionals with digital home monitoring in hospital settings, emphasising how these digital tools influence clinical workflows, patient engagement and the broader organisational context in healthcare.
