The diffusion of innovation: factors influencing the uptake of telehealth.

Abstract:

:The actual use of telehealth, particularly for clinical consultations, has in many cases been less than anticipated. The literature identifies a number of factors or barriers. These include legal issues, technical difficulties, time and convenience, cost and training/familiarity with the equipment. No single factor has been identified as being consistently present. Rogers' diffusion of innovation theory suggests that organizational structures and cultures will affect health professionals' perceptions of telehealth. The introduction of telehealth services affects existing work practices and workflows. We believe that it is necessary to develop strategies for the introduction of telehealth applications which take into account the idiosyncrasies of the health service sector, and the particular structures and cultures of individual organizations within that sector.
