| Abstract: | Providing effective healthcare is becoming increasingly challenging due to a growing aging population and the rising number of people with chronic diseases. In the Netherlands, the number of individuals with chronic conditions has significantly increased in the past decade. At the same time, healthcare systems are facing staff shortages and high workloads, making it difficult to meet patient needs. eHealth technologies, including Remote Patient Management (RPM), offer potential solutions by enabling digital healthcare services. These technologies can improve efficiency, enhance patient monitoring, and support healthcare professionals in managing workloads. However, the integration of eHealth into daily practice remains slow due to various barriers, such as technical challenges, increased workload, and resistance to change. This project aims to develop an eHealth implementation roadmap that helps healthcare professionals integrate these technologies into practice more effectively. Literature research and expert interviews provided insights, leading to a prototype with four key domains: Technology, Communication, Patients, and Funding. The roadmap was designed to be simple and time-efficient, and user testing evaluated its usability, functionality, and content. User evaluation showed that the roadmap has potential to help healthcare professionals implement eHealth. Participants found it useful and easy to navigate but suggested clearer organization and more interactivity. Future improvements could refine the domain structure, expand testing, and add features like a search function and live chat for real-time support. |
