• Purpose A recent study on the implementation of telemonitoring has provided an opportunity to explore how telemonitoring could be further developed to enhance better patient, carer and clinician experiences for patients living with chronic disease. The purpose of this paper is to identify the challenges and lessons of the telemonitoring implementation and to identify strategies to inform future implementation. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative study was conducted with a purposive sample using semi-structured interviews to explore their views about the issues identified in the research aims. Interview themes were informed by current literature and the findings from local studies. Interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim and analyzed thematically. Findings A total of 16 participants were interviewed. Overall the recruitment of 56 percent were from identified potential participants. Five core themes were identified, linking different aspects of the telemonitoring implementation: impact of telemonitoring; implementation and management lessons; program risks; program main changes from beginning; and future strategies and recommendations. Originality/value This study will inform the wider roll out of telemonitoring across the region with the goal of ensuring future interventions achieve better clinical outcomes, patient, carer experience and deliver better value.
