Analyses of the processes of policy change and implementation should consider the roles, views and values of the front-line providers tasked with policy implementation (12, 13).
Indeed, policy theories suggest that health providers tasked with implementing policy can shape not only the implementation of policy but ultimately even the policy itself (4).
One major finding includes enhanced understanding of events and how event dynamics influence provider tasks and constraints.
Lastly, they discussed peer support and teamwork strategies for overcoming machine fatigue and balancing provider tasks when manually ventilating a patient and delivering inhaled anaesthetics.
A sound grasp of the nature of provider tasks and care practices is vital for examining and understanding patient safety risk in the homecare setting [ 22].
Finally, if the system is shown to reduce overall provider "tasks" with regard to fluid therapy (for example, starting a bolus, calculating change in SV or tracking fluid delivered), this would free up time and attention to focus on higher-level care factors.
However, these findings do reflect the aforementioned importance of considering user characteristics, needs and experiences in conceptualising and understanding patient safety risk related to telecare use, as well as the fundamental significance of the nature of provider tasks and roles and responsibilities of healthcare staff.
Our semi-structured questions focused on changes in collaboration with other care providers and task delegation within the practice, on time spent by GPs for our programme, and on the GPs views on the various components of the programme.
Besides, the midwives were asked to complete a questionnaire, to gain insight into collaboration of midwives with other care providers, their tasks and attitude towards their job, and the quality of the care they provide.
Interviews with external stakeholders of CHBC programmes, such as district level hospital staff, and CHBC programme staff also revealed that community care providers fulfil tasks which would normally be provided by a trained community nurse during home visits.
