Developed by two members of the group (Simon Brownsell and Tim Ellis)
and launched today is a new toolkit to help people implement telehealth
successfully. There has been much interest in the development of
telehealth but few services have become mainstream. Those who have tried
it soon realise it is a complex intervention which is difficult to get
right. In part this main explain the mixed evidence base which points
towards some deployments being successful while others have struggled.
Based
on our experience, and validated with national and international
colleagues, the ‘Ready Steady Go’ toolkit provides a framework which can
be followed and which should provide a supportive environment for
telehealth to flourish.
Anyone
involved in the delivery of a telehealth programme should find value in
this toolkit. For those new to telehealth it provides a detailed
account of steps that should be covered, and provides insight into
common mistakes and ways in which progress can be monitored. For those
with more experience, benefit could still be derived as it may provide
new insights on certain aspects along with a clear overriding framework
which can assist in ensuring all aspects of the programme are managed
effectively.
