| description | Introduction Integrating digital health technologies to improve the overall performance of healthcare systems counts among the top priorities of the WHO. As evidenced in recent research, there are specific factors that may decisively determine the effective implementation and development of innovative digital health solutions. This review attempts to recognise and map the existing body of research and evidence to identify the determinants that either favour or hinder the deployment and use of digital health technologies by patients and physicians in primary care.Methods and analysis The scoping review will be conducted in accordance with the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis (2024 edition introducing nine stages) and with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews checklist. Search strategy will be conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and Scopus in November 2024. The review will include quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods studies, systematic, scoping or umbrella reviews, as well as text and opinion papers. The study selection process will be conducted by two researchers using Rayyan. The data will be analysed using MAXQDA and extracted into a tool prepared by the researchers. This review will summarise the existing data and will help create a list of potential and determinant barriers and facilitators that may be useful in conducting empirical research on embedding new digital health solutions and sustaining their use.Ethics and dissemination As no primary data will be collected for the purposes of this study, no formal ethical approval is required. Results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. The findings will be used to conduct further research (HORIZON.2.1;grant:101095424) on the determinants of digital health implementation in primary care at the national level and to prepare recommendations for key stakeholders, as well as to develop recommendations on health policy in the European Union. |
