Area of Science:

  • Palliative Care
  • Health Informatics
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Telehospice is increasingly recognized for addressing the needs of hospice patients and their caregivers.
  • Effective virtual care delivery requires understanding staff comfort with technology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine hospice staff comfort levels when utilizing telehospice technology.
  • To assess the integration and perceived utility of the Alpha Virtual Assist (AVA) platform.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods research design was employed.
  • An online survey with quantitative and qualitative items was administered to 44 hospice staff members.
  • Data collection focused on staff comfort and experiences with AVA.
