SUMMARY:Factors affecting adherence to telemonitoring treatment plans for 
 chronic diseases: Providers' perspectives and Workflows of Care for Chroni
 c Disease
DESCRIPTION:Garrett Mitchell, Alec Smith, Shereece Fields, Hye-Chung Kum, 
 and Mark Lawley (Texas A&M University) and Farzan Sasangohar (Texas A&M Un
 iversity, Houston Methodist Hospital)\n\nChronic health condition manageme
 nt requires significant time and effort and often involves navigating vari
 ous treatment options. Many regimens outpace a patient’s ability to adopt 
 necessary health behaviors, adversely affecting their daily life and perso
 nal identity. Technologies such as remote patient monitoring (RPM) have sh
 own potential to improve outcomes, specifically in underserved populations
 . Despite this there is a gap in understanding barriers to the adoption an
 d continual engagement in RPM technologies. This study explores these barr
 iers by examining the experiences of medical providers who use RPM. Eleven
  professionals were interviewed, their transcribed recordings were de-iden
 tified and underwent thematic analysis. Six main themes emerged: types of 
 RPM platforms used, patient enrollment processes, patient concerns, RPM wo
 rkflow, factors influencing adherence, and strategies to improve adherence
 . These themes highlighted concerns that potential patients may have parti
 cipating in RPM, the importance of a close patient-provider relationship, 
 the importance of education in RPM and how experiences with technology can
  present barriers. Additionally, we were able to construct a system-level 
 interaction diagram to illustrate the complexity of steps and interactions
  that occur during the enrollment process. Our findings suggest that patie
 nts face multiple challenges with RPM and highlight the need to address sy
 stemic factors for successful implementation.\n\n
