Background: The implementation of telemonitoring (TM) has been successful in terms of the overall feasibility and adoption in single disease care models. However, a lack of available research focused on nurse-led implementations of TM that targets patients with multiple and complex chronic conditions (CCC) hinders the scale and spread to these patient populations. In particular, little is known about the clinical perspective on the implementation of TM for patients with CCC in outpatient care.

Given the growing prevalence of complex patients, an evaluation of multi-condition TM is needed to expand TM interventions and tailor opportunities to manage complex chronic care needs.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and patients' perceived usefulness of a multi-condition TM platform in a nurse-led model of care.
Background: The growing number of patients with complex chronic conditions presents an urgent challenge across the Canadian health care system. Current care delivery models are overburdened, struggling to monitor and stabilize the complex needs of this growing patient population.
Objective: This qualitative study aimed to explore the needs and perspectives of patients and members of the care team to inform the development of an innovative integrated model of care and the needs of telemonitoring (TM) for patients with complex chronic conditions.

The burden of complex, chronic conditions in Canadian healthcare is growing, requiring more human and financial resources than ever before. It has become increasingly paramount to look for new ways to more effectively manage complex care to meet the needs of patients and providers. Nurse-led models, including advanced practice models, are uniquely positioned to pioneer innovative care delivery methods for patients with complex chronic needs in Canada.
