Polisena J et al, Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare, 16(3)
We conducted a systematic review of the literature about home telehealth for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) compared with usual care. An electronic literature search identified 6241 citations. From these, nine original studies (10 references) relating to 858 patients were selected for inclusion in the review. Four studies compared home telemonitoring with usual care, and six randomized controlled trials compared telephone support with usual care.

“This report contains the main findings of the scoping and exploratory research carried out in the course of 2010 by the SIMPHS research team (part of the TIESC Action within the Information Society Unit at IPTS1) on the broadly defined issue of assessing the micro and macro impact of Integrated Personal Health and Social Care Services (IPHS, see infra § 1.1 for the definition). SIMPHS, which stands for Strategic Intelligence Monitor of Personal Health Systems, is a three-year project collaboration between IPTS and Unit H1 (ICT for Health) of the European Commission’s Directorate General Information Society.

Participant recruitment is an important process in successful conduct of randomized controlled trials. To facilitate enrollment into a National Institutes of Health–sponsored clinical trial involving patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), we developed and prospectively validated an automated electronic screening tool based on boolean free-text search of admission notes in electronic medical records. During a 2-week validation period, all patients admitted to prespecified general medical services were screened for eligibility by both the electronic screening tool and a COPD nurse. Group discussion was the gold standard for confirmation of true-positive results.

Objective:
To assess the impact of a home telemonitoring technology on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in terms of care satisfaction, patient empowerment, improved quality of life, and utilization of hospital and home care.
Design:
A quasi-experimental retrospective and prospective design was developed with a matched control group to compare the effects of telemonitoring (the experimental group, n = 23) with the traditional homecare offering (the control group, n = 23).

This paper discusses how a tele-rehabilitation program using home tele-monitoring may empower patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The paper is based on preliminary findings from an ongoing research and innovation project, called “Tele-homecare, chronic patients and the integrated healthcare system” (the TELEKAT project) that employs triple interventions related to patients, professionals, and the organization of care.

Rationale, aims and objectives The evidence to support the effectiveness of home telemonitoring interventions for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is limited, yet there are many efforts made to implement these technologies across health care services. Methods A comprehensive search strategy was designed and implemented across 9 electronic databases and 11 European, Australasian and North American telemedicine websites. Included studies had to examine the effectiveness of telemonitoring interventions, clearly defined for the study purposes, for adult patients with COPD.

Lewis KE et al, J Telemed Telecare, 16(5)
We conducted a six-month randomised controlled trial of home telemonitoring for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A total of 40 stable patients with moderate to severe COPD who had completed pulmonary rehabilitation took part. They were randomised to receive standard care (controls) or standard care plus home telemonitoring (intervention). During the monitoring period, patients in the telemonitoring group recorded their symptoms and physical observations twice daily. The data were transmitted automatically at night via the home telephone line.

“A “new” device for patients to carry out their own health checks and send the information to a doctor has been developed in a bid to cut hospital admissions.
The Telehealth system allows sufferers of long-term conditions to have their health monitored daily without needing to visit their GP surgery.
Now, health chiefs are aiming to roll the service out to more patients in an effort to prevent unplanned hospital visits.
COPD sufferer Raymond Bowes from Blackburn, West Lothian, has been taking part in the trial with his GP Dr Brian McKinstry.”

This document sets forth recommended policies and guidelines governing consumer consent and other safeguards relating to the exchange of personal health information in an electronic, interconnected health care environment. Interoperable health information exchange entails the exchange of patient health information among disparate clinicians, other authorized entities, and patients in real time while ensuring security and privacy. This process is facilitated by Regional Health Information Organizations (RHIOs) in New York. Interoperable health information exchange is essential to realizing the expected value of health information technology (IT) to support patient care improvements.
