Protocol for a systematic review with network meta-analysis of the modalities used to deliver eHealth interventions for chronic pain.
Brian W Slattery,Stephanie Haugh,Kady Francis,Laura O'Connor,K. Barrett,Christopher P. Dwyer,Siobhan O'Higgins,Jonathan Egan,Brian E. McGuire +8 more
TL;DR: A protocol for a systematic review that aims to evaluate the eHealth modalities in the context of psychological and non-psychological interventions for chronic pain and systematically identify the most important features of such treatment types so they may be replicated and used for research and in the provision of care.

Challenges With Continuous Pulse Oximetry Monitoring and Wireless Clinician Notification Systems After Surgery: Reactive Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Prathiba Harsha,James Paul,Matthew A. Chong,Norm Buckley,Antonella Tidy,Anne Clarke,Diane Buckley,Zenon Sirko,Thuva Vanniyasingam,Jake Walsh,Michael McGillion,Lehana Thabane +11 more
TL;DR: Pat monitoring with eHealth technology in surgical wards has the potential to improve patient outcomes, however, proper planning that includes engagement of front-line nurses, installation of appropriate wireless network infrastructure, and use of comfortable cableless devices is required to maximize the potential of eHealth monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is there and do we need evidence on eHealth interventions
TL;DR: There is a need for more research in this area using a multidisciplinary approach and teams in eHealth, and a body of evidence is being developed to show the value of eHealth.

Evaluating informatics applications : some alternative approaches : theory, social interactionism, and call for methodological pluralism
TL;DR: Although the discussion is about social interactionism, the more important point is the need to broaden evaluation through a variety of methods and approaches that investigate social, cultural, organizational, cognitive, and other contextual concerns.
