| Annotation | Frequencies of reporting adherence to professional practice standards and research ethics in studies of technology-based home health care programmes were assessed in this literature review. A search of key databases yielded 2,866 abstracts that were independently rated by two reviewers using inclusion-exclusion criteria, resulting in 107 articles that were reviewed for reports of practice standards and research ethics. Issues related to professional practice standards, and research ethics were not well reported. When reported, adherence to practice standards included pre-intervention training, use of intervention protocols, supervision and mechanisms for risk management. Research ethics most commonly reported were informed consent, research ethics board (REB) and/or institutional review board (IRB) approval, and protection of privacy. The results raise questions as to whether practice standards and research ethics are considered sufficiently when health service delivery occurs in technology-based environments. Guidelines for professional accountability by e-health service delivery are needed. (RH). |
