SERIES: eHealth in primary care. Part 4: Addressing the challenges of implementation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The implementation of eHealth applications in primary care remains challenging. Enhancing knowledge and awareness of implementation determinants is critical to build evidence-based implementation strategies and optimise uptake and sustainability.

Objectives

We consider how evidence-based implementation strategies can be built to support eHealth implementation.

Discussion

What implementation strategies to consider depends on (potential) barriers and facilitators to eHealth implementation in a given situation. Therefore, we first discuss key barriers and facilitators following the five domains of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). Cost is identified as a critical barrier to eHealth implementation. Privacy, security problems, and a
