Abstract

The value of ‘data-enabled’, digital healthcare is evolving rapidly, as demonstrated in the COVID-19 pandemic, and its successful implementation remains complex and challenging. Harmonisation (within/between healthcare systems) of infrastructure and implementation strategies has the potential to promote safe, equitable and accessible digital healthcare, but guidance for implementation is lacking. Using respiratory technologies as an example, ourCompeting interests: Dr Chi Yan Hui is a visitor in the University of Edinburgh and a senior consultant in net zero and sustainability (healthcare) at Turner and Townsend. She receives the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Clinical Research Collaboration fund to develop this study. This study and her research with the University of Edinburgh, is independent from, and not financially supported by Turner and Townsend. Her views in this publication are her own, and not those of the Turner and Townsend. Neither she, nor Turner and Townsend, stand to gain financially from this work. Dr Sami O. Simons receive SOS reports grants, consulting fees or payments for lectures from AstraZeneca, Boehringer Ingelheim, Chiesi, GlaxoSmithKline, and Roche; all outside the submitted work and paid to his institution. MrsAleksandra Gawlik-Lipinski receives fees for lectures from Chiesi. Previously employed by AstraZeneca. Group Authors: Professor Adrian Paul Rabe is currently employed by Boehringer Ingelheim. Dr Tonje Reier-Nilsen has received fees for lectures, advisory boards or consultant work from ALK, MediTuner and Sanofi outside the present study. We can confirm that this does not alter our adherence to PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.scoping review process will capture and review the published research between 12th December 2013 to 12th December 2023. Following standard methodology (Arksey and O’Malley), we will search for studies published in ten databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, IEEE Xplore, CABI Global Health, and WHO Medicus. Our search strategy will use the terms: digital health, respiratory conditions, and implementation. Using Covidence, screening of abstracts and full texts will be undertaken by two independent reviewers, with conflicts resolved by a third reviewer. Data will be extracted into a pilot-tested data extraction table for charting, summarising and reporting the results. We will conduct stakeholder meetings throughout to discuss the themes emerging from implementation studies and support interpretation of findings in the light of their experience within their own networks and organisations. The findings will inform the future work within the ERS CONNECT clinical research collaboration and contribute to policy statements to promote a harmonised framework for digital transformation of respiratory healthcare.
