Summary

The study aims to conduct a comprehensive evaluation involving multiple stakeholders to assess the factors influencing and the consequences of telehomecare in comparison to traditional care models. The integration of technology into the healthcare sector necessitates significant changes in care of patients, organizational structures, production processes, organizational responsibilities, and the management of service delivery processes.

The delivery of telemedicine services through integrated devices represents a method of service production that demands active involvement from patients or, in the case of pediatric patients, their caregivers. This collaborative process of patient engagement in healthcare services is referred to as "co-production." In this research, telehomecare will be examined as an illustrative instance of co-producing healthcare services.

Co-production implies that the inputs into a production process are contributed not only by the organization producing a good or service but also by the users. In the case study, co-production occurs through the interaction between patients/caregivers and professionals during telehealth visits for device-mediated monitoring activities. Throughout the televisit, patients/caregivers play a crucial role in collecting and sharing the necessary parameters with professionals using the device, thereby serving as essential actors in the care process.

The investigators explored the impact of a transitional care program, utilizing an user-friendly mobile medical device, to support an early discharges in a pediatric setting. Clinical outcome and economic advantages are considered. This study will contribute to implement knowledge on the role of telemedicine on HaH healthcare in pediatrics.
