The European Wound Management Association (www.ewma.org) hosted an eHealth symposium as
part of their annual conference in Madrid in May 2014. This year’s theme for
the conference was Innovation, Know-How and Technology in Wound Care, and Jo
Nicholson was invited as a guest speaker for one of the conference’s key
sessions about factors affecting large-scale adoption and implementation of
eHealth technologies.
RAT Group's Jo Nicholson presented key messages from the work on
user adoption carried out for the MALT study, which is drawing to a close later
this year and will be developing a range of tools to help tackle low awareness
and understanding of remote care technologies, and share knowledge about the
factors that can help promote adoption and implementation. Jo also discussed
some of the enduring challenges faced by frontline staff, whose efforts to
drive forward service improvements and secure long-term investment for remote
care technologies continue to be impeded by wider organizational and
technological barriers associated with the healthcare system itself.
The next EWMA conference will be held in
London from 13-15th May 2015 (http://ewma2015.org).
A final eHealth symposium will be hosted by the EWMA at this event, with
further information to follow in the coming months.
