METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION

1. Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: 

This interview study is one of two work packages (WP) which ran in parallel. WP1 involved a scoping review looking at the barriers and facilitators to the use of videoconferencing and online technology for 
communications between care homes and NHS and adult social care services. WP2 (the present study) involved an online interview study with health and social care professionals working with care homes.The aim 
of the interview study was to identify the enablers and barriers to the use of online communication and videoconferencing by social care and NHS staff working with care homes.

In-depth virtual individual interviews were conducted with health and social care professionals (e.g. GPs and social workers) working with care homes. Participants were identified 
via NHS Trust. Staff included those with experience of videoconferencing and online communication between care homes and health and social care staff. Semi-structured interviews were conducted via zoom 
or telephone (if preferred). A structured interview guide was employed to explore the following issues: 
• Experience of using technology, what helped and hindered 
• Whether it worked well for particular situations, residents, or events 
• How it fitted with existing methods of consultation and what it was used for (e.g. assessment, monitoring, review) 
• What participants would change going forward

Ethical approval was obtained through the University of Hertfordshire's Health, Science, Engineering and Technology Ethics 
Committee with Delegated Authority, (protocol number HSK/SF/UH/04266). Consent was obtained for each participant before taking part in the interview.


2. Methods for processing the data: 

Nvivo was used to organise and manage data. A thematic approach informed by implementation factors outlined in the Non-adoption, Abandonment, and challenges to the Scale-up, Spread, and Sustainability of health and care 
technologies (NASSS) framework was adopted to analyse the data adn interpret it witht eh scoping review findings. The data underwent targeted transcription to facilitate rapid identification of relevant issues for refining findings.
