Exploring patient perspectives on telemedicine monitoring within the operating room.
The authors sought to identify participant-rated items contributing to patient attitudes, beliefs, and level of comfort with electronic OR (eOR) monitoring and to highlight barriers and facilitators to eOR use. They found that participants expressed significant support for intraoperative telemedicine use and greater comfort with local telemedicine systems instead of long-distance telemedicine systems. They further found that reservations centered on organizational policies, procedures, environment, culture; people; workflow and communication; and hardware and software.

Patient perspectives on post-discharge surgical site infections: towards a patient-centered mobile health solution.
This study explored patient experience of surgical site infections (SSI) and openness to a mobile health (mHealth) wound monitoring ‘‘app’’ as a novel solution to address the problem of patient perceptions about barriers experienced while seeking care for post-discharge SSI. It found that patients are dissatisfied with the current standard post-hospitalization care practice and were accepting of the concept of a patient-centered wound monitoring application.
