- The objective is to describe how the uptake of online video consultations was affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, using data from a Swedish primary care setting. There seem to be a relationship between the use of video consultations and spread of Covid-19, especially in 2020 when the use varied more with the contagion waves. In 2021 the use was more consistent over time. In summary, the Covid-19 pandemic had a direct impact on the adoption of video consultations in our primary care setting, yet after the initial high use, it appears to have stabilized on a lower level.

- Implementation and adoption of video consultations (VCs) in healthcare are not straightforward. Experiences of initiating a VC could increase our understanding of adoption by patients. This study aims to report patients' experiences of installing and booking a VC in primary care. Most people found it easy to find and install the VC application. Those with a higher self-reported ability and habit of using digital services and the internet found it easier than those reporting lower ability and habit. About half of our respondents had booked their recent VC themselves, most of whom had done so through a telephone call or the application "Alltid Öppet". The booking process was perceived to be easy by most but more difficult compared to installation. The easy installation process might have led to higher adoption by older people. Nevertheless, during implementation more support should be provided to people with lower digital service and internet use abilities and habits as they might find VC set-up more difficult. More attention should be given to the booking process as it may be a barrier potentially influencing adoption.

- This study aimed to illustrate ways primary healthcare patients were introduced to video consultations via the public online care application Alltid öppet in Region Stockholm, Sweden. The majority of patients were introduced to this by their providers or other healthcare professionals.

To connect or not connect : long-term adoption of video consultations, and reasons for discontinuing use

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- IntroductionThis study investigates factors related to long-term and short-term adoption of video consultations (VCs) and reasons for discontinuing use among primary care patients.MethodsA sample of primary care patients using VCs with healthcare providers were invited to take a survey in a cross-sectional study. Participants were asked about their intention to continue to have video consultations in the future, and those indicating no intention to use VCs in the future (short-term adopters) were asked about their reasons for this. Prevalence and statistical differences between long-term and short-term adopters were investigated.ResultsThere were several statistically significant differences between long-term and short-term adopters (76% vs. 24%). Long-term adopters consisted of more middle-aged individuals (35?54 years) and the majority worked full-time (56%). They had more positive opinions of VCs and used VCs and video meetings for other purposes to a larger extent. They chose VCs because of the lack of time to go to the healthcare centre and because their provider offered them. The most common reason for discontinuing use was a preference for face-to-face consultations, with the youngest age group (16?34 years) reporting this to a larger extent.DiscussionYounger and older age groups may be less likely to continue the use of VCs, potentially preserving the digital divide. Additionally, disparities in using similar technologies might contribute to the digital divide. Moreover, convenience, positive opinions of VCs, and experience with VCs were related to long-term adoption. Further studies are needed to explore non-use, age?s influence, and address usability issues.

Exploring mHealths Fit to Workflow in Homecare - A Case Study in Sweden.

- With an ageing population and limited resources in healthcare, many high-income countries such as Sweden see an increase in homecare and mobile work for healthcare professionals. In this case study, we explore how mHealth services can support the everyday work for healthcare professionals when delivering home care in rural areas in Sweden. The studied mHealth application had failed to be adopted among district nurses, despite a great expressed need for mobile tools. The results indicate that the mHealth solution did not live up the healthcare professionals' expectations in terms of providing the same functions as the regular electronic health record systems, and with poor integration into the existing eco-system of eHealth applications. In conclusion, in order for a mHealth application to be successfully implemented in a context where many digital services are already in use, it is not enough to support important activities in the current workflow. The mHealth application will need to be carefully integrated into the existing eco-system of healthcare applications to increase the chances of adoption.
