Objective: To assess the impact of a home telemonitoring technology on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in terms of care satisfaction, patient empowerment, improved quality of life, and utilization of hospital and home care.
Design: A quasi-experimental retrospective and prospective design was developed with a matched control group to compare the effects of telemonitoring (the experimental group, n = 23) with the traditional homecare offering (the control group, n = 23).
Measurements: Satisfaction, patient empowerment, and quality of life were measured using validated Likert scales, whereas the data on care utilization were collected from the participating patients' medical record.
