Abstract
A strategic TeleMatch-model can be useful in choosing the right telemedical solution
This article presents the results of a qualitative, comparative study of three hospital-based telemedical solutions for patients with COPD. Based on an analysis of technological and patient perspectives the paper identifies three parameters that influence the role of the patient and the collaboration between patient and clinician. The article develops a strategic TeleMatch-model that conceptualizes how the planning of patient care paths can be supported by various technologies matching the specific needs of the patient, supporting self-monitoring for those who are able and offering video consultations to vulnerable patients.
