Abstract:
In planning a telehealth project, a readiness assessment can help to improve the chances of successful implementation by identifying the stakeholders and the factors that should be targeted. We conducted a literature search and identified six questionnaires on readiness that can be used when implementing telehealth projects. Only one of them was sufficiently generic to be used with all kinds of telehealth projects and with different groups of participants (patients and public, health-care practitioners and organization personnel like health-care managers and technical support managers), but it had rather limited psychometric evaluation. Two of them had had good psychometric evaluation but they were specific to particular telehealth projects and groups of stakeholders. All six published questionnaires were in English. We have developed and validated a French-Canadian version of the practitioner and organizational telehealth readiness assessment tool.
