Patient-Centered Televisit for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Discharge Transitions: User-Centered Design Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affects approximately 16 million Americans and often results in avoidable readmissions due, in part, to medication errors and lack of education. Telehealth interventions can support medication reconciliation and inhaler education following hospital discharge for patients with COPD.

Objective

This study aimed to design and prototype TELE-TOC (Telehealth Education: Leveraging Electronic Transitions of Care), a post-discharge, in-home, televisit intervention, and to map its workflow to ensure integration into the routine discharge care transition process for patients with COPD.

Methods

A user-centered design approach across 3 phases was followed to develop and prototype TELE-TOC. Participants included adult patients
