Background:
Technological innovation, coupled with the shift toward home-based care models, presents opportunities to improve outcomes.
Purpose:
The scoping review synthesizes research on emerging home-based care models and associated technologies, highlighting research, policy, and practice priorities.
Methods:
The team employed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Extension for Scoping Reviews, along with the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology, and supplemented these with the Arksey and O'Malley methodological framework.
Discussion:
Of 3,154 screened studies, 105 were included in the review. Studies used a mix of technologies and care delivery models. The most common technologies included wearable devices (31%), followed by mobile apps (28%), and remote patient monitoring (26%). The most common care models were person-centered self-care (56%) and the continuum-of-care model (50%).
Conclusion:
This scoping review highlights the essential role of nursing in every aspect of emerging technologies within home-based care models, including policy, research, and practice.
