Implementation and Scale-up of Telemonitoring in the Netherlands.

The healthcare system requires reforms for equitable and sustainable care. Telemonitoring offers a solution, yet its implementation lacks research. In the Netherlands, University Medical Centers (UMCs) lead healthcare transformation through the Citrien-2 network, scaling up three telemonitoring programs from 2020 to 2022.

Social media recruitment of participants in a female stress urinary incontinence trial: A feasibility study.

Objective: This study explores the opportunities of social media advertisements as a recruitment strategy in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

The National Coordinated Citrien eHealth Program to Scale Up Telemonitoring: Protocol for a Before-and-After Evaluation Study.

Background: Sustainable implementation of telemonitoring in health care is challenging, especially if one aims to scale up telemonitoring initiatives nationwide. The National collaborative eHealth program in the Netherlands is supporting the nationwide upscaling of telemonitoring in 3 clinical domains by implementing telemonitoring in all Dutch university medical centers (UMCs). The chosen telemonitoring concepts are (1) telemonitoring solutions in the domain of cardiology, (2) telemonitoring solutions providing care from a distance in obstetrics, and (3) telemonitoring solutions monitoring vital functions in hospital wards.

Fungal colonisation on wood surfaces weathered at diverse climatic conditions.

Natural weathering test at two different European climatic zones were conducted to investigate simultaneously both, the fungal colonisation and weathering process of Scots pine wood ( L.). The hypothesis was that the wood performing differently in various climate conditions might affect fungal infestation.

Upscaling telemonitoring in Dutch University Medical Centres: A baseline measurement.

Introduction And Objective: The Dutch university medical centres (UMC's) are on the forefront when it comes to validation, implementation and research of telemonitoring. To aid the UMC's in their effort, the Dutch Government has supported the UMC's by fostering the 'Citrien eHealth program'. This program aims at nationwide implementation and upscaling of telemonitoring via a collaborative network.
