It was a great pleasure to be part of the research team undertaking a national telemedicine study to support the Ministry of Health of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare of Republika Srpska in introducing and developing telemedicine services. The study is part of the EU Support for Health Sector Reforms in Bosnia and Herzegovina” (BIH) project..  The report of the study is expected to be submitted shortly.

The objectives of the research were to assess the current status, as well as to identify potential weaknesses that could hinder the development of telemedicine services in both entities; and to support the creation of a strategic roadmap for the development and implementation of telemedicine services.

This study utilised a descriptive cross-sectional online mixed-method survey design, based on the constructs of the Support Tool https://www.who.int/europe/publications/i/item/WHO-EURO-2024-9548-49320-73720 to Strengthen Telemedicine as a conceptual framework and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) framework as a theoretical foundation.

Findings provide rich insights into the strengths and weaknesses of telemedicine services in BIH and strong foundations for strategic planning for the consolidation and scaleup of telemedicine services in BIH

I had the great pleasure to facilitate a workshop with my doctoral supervisor (Professor Francesc Saigí Rubió) in Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia.  The workshop familiarized 13 participants from the Ministry of Health (Health Care Policy Department and Strategic Development and Analytics Department) and Georgian Medical Holdings, with the Telemedicine Implementation Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) which I’ve been involved in supporting the development of, as part of my doctoral research.

The workshop was a rewarding experience to see first hand the opportunities and challenges faced during the national scaleup of telemedicine services.   It was a great privilege and pleasure to help facilitate this workshop and I wish to thank Professor Francesc Saigí Rubió for inviting me to support him ]n this work.

I started my doctoral studies in September 2022, and I’m currently in my 3rd year.  The title of my research is as follows:

An exploration of evidence-to-action: A study of telemedicine knowledge translation through the development of a research-driven telemedicine tool

Progress is mostly according to plan, and at this stage I’ve completed my 3rd phase of research, and the manuscript is nearly ready for submission to a journal.  I have one more phase of research, along with the dissertation, to complete my doctoral studies.

The current status of each Phase is as follows:

  • Phase 1 Development of the Support tool: A rapid literature review and development of the telemedicine Support tool along with explanatory resources.
    • Output: a publication by World Health Organization.

WHO Regional Office for Europe. (2024). Support tool to strengthen telemedicine: Guidance for telemedicine assessment and strategy development. https://www.who.int/europe/publications/i/item/WHO-EURO-2024-9548-49320-73720 .

  • Phase 2 Expert consensus: a Delphi study to test the constructs of the draft Support tool.
    • Output: a publication in Digital Health.

DIGITAL HEALTH, 10. https://doi.org/10.1177/20552076241251951

  • Phase 3  State-of-the-art: rapid umbrella review to  synthesis the peer-reviewed evidence and further assess the findings of Phase 1 and 2.
    • Output: a publication near to completion for submission to BMJ Global Health

Katz, C., Ruiz, J.M. & Saigí-Rubió, F. (in progress) The state-of-the-art of the telemedicine implementation architecture: a rapid umbrella review of systematic reviews

 Phase 4 Field-testing – participatory action research in the field to test the implementation of the Support tool

  • Status: Survey currently in the field in Bosnia and Herzegovina

In addition to the above, I have been engaged in various other activities including:

  1. Saigí-Rubió, F., Nascimento, I. J. B. do, Robles, N., Ivanovska, K., Katz, C., Azzopardi-Muscat, N., & Ortiz, D. N. (2022).

Journal of Medical Internet Research, 24(10), e40877. https://doi.org/10.2196/40877
  2. I’m second researcher for a study led by José María Ruiz titled Assessing Clinical and Economic Outcomes of Telemedicine Interventions in Cardiovascular Disease, which is a systematic review and meta-analysis.  First stage of screening will start in November 2024.
  3. I’ve supported the development of Key Performance Indicators for a World Health Organization consultancy (July to November 2024) on telemedicine in the Republic of Georgia
  4. I’m currently undertaking the UOC course Article Writing Workshop (October 2024 to February 2025)
