Talk:Model for assessment of telemedicine

Note edit

This article is an incoherent bunch of badly sourced jargon. I asked its creator to move it to draft space, but they were not responsive. So I am nominating it for deletion. Based on the username, the creator is from the organization that produced this assessment system, so we have some undisclosed COI here but that is a separate issue.

KK-CIMT replied on their userpage here and acknowledged that per their usernname they work for CIMT which produced this tool. Jytdog (talk) 09:46, 22 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

New content edit

KK-CIMT added the following content to the article, instead of suggesting it here, which they should have done per the COI guideline. I removed it and am posting it here for others to comment on and use or not as they see fit:

A study of the use and perception of MAST twenty-one studies of telemedicine in the EU project Renewing Health has been made by Ekeland and Grøtland (2016). The questionnaire study shows that MAST was used and considered useful in the projects. A number of improvements were suggested including the use of process studies and additional information on technological usability, behavior change, caregiver perspectives and motivational issues of professionals.[1]

In a letter to the editor Kidholm, Jensen and Kotzeva (2016) has replyed and identified a number of misunderstanding in the questionnaire study. Firstly, the article describes how the existing seven MAST domains includes most of the outcomes called for. Secondly, the article stresses that assessment of telemedicine by use of MAST will include description of the technical, organizational and economic context in which telemedicine is used. [2]
