“…It has also been shown that active listening can help uncover serious pathologies that may otherwise be overlooked [30]. A recent systematic review on the effectiveness and safety of telehealth for treatment of low back pain [31] suggests that remote clinical management is safe, effective, and does not compromise patient satisfaction. However, evidence is based on observational studies, and clinical trials aimed at optimizing telehealth delivery are needed.…”

Background Alternate “hospital avoidance” models of care are required to manage the increasing demand for acute inpatient beds. There is currently a knowledge gap regarding the perspectives of hospital clinicians on barriers and facilitators to a transition to virtual care for low back pain. We plan to implement a virtual hospital model of care called “Back@Home” and use qualitative interviews with stakeholders to develop and refine the model. Objective We aim to explore clinicians’ perspectives on a virtual hospital model of care for back pain (Back@Home) and identify barriers to and enablers of successful implementation of this model of care. Methods We conducted semistructured interviews with 19 purposively sampled clinicians involved in the delivery of acute back pain care at 3 metropolitan hospitals. Interview data were analyzed using the Theoretical Domains Framework. Results A total of 10 Theoretical Domains Framework domains were identified as important in understanding barriers and enablers to implementing virtual hospital care for musculoskeletal back pain. Key barriers to virtual hospital care included patient access to videoconferencing and reliable internet, language barriers, and difficulty building rapport. Barriers to avoiding admission included patient expectations, social isolation, comorbidities, and medicolegal concerns. Conversely, enablers of implementing a virtual hospital model of care included increased health care resource efficiency, clinician familiarity with telehealth, as well as a perceived reduction in overmedicalization and infection risk. Conclusions The successful implementation of Back@Home relies on key stakeholder buy-in. Addressing barriers to implementation and building on enablers is crucial to clinicians’ adoption of this model of care. Based on clinicians’ input, the Back@Home model of care will incorporate the loan of internet-enabled devices, health care interpreters, and written resources translated into community languages to facilitate more equitable access to care for marginalized groups.

Objectives: Telemedicine has emerged as a crucial tool in addressing public health requirements, particularly during a pandemic. This aligns with the third Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) objective of ensuring healthy lives and promoting well‐being for all ages. The current generation demonstrates a greater proficiency in modern technology, prompting researchers to investigate their views and behavior trends in telemedicine.Methods: This research is aimed at examining the telemedicine adoption patterns of Generation Y and Generation Z by dividing them into two groups. Study Group 1 is comprised of those who have known modern technology but have yet to gain experience in using telemedicine. Meanwhile, Study Group 2 is comprised of those who had used telemedicine services. Utilizing structural equation model (SEM) analysis, this research investigates the magnitude of influence exerted by various determinants on an individual’s tendency to utilize telemedicine.Results: Findings from both study groups indicate that younger generations have positive attitudes towards telemedicine, significantly influencing their willingness to use telemedicine. Furthermore, the level of readiness for change emerges as a crucial factor in determining the degree of affective commitment to change, continuance commitment to change, and normative commitment to change. In addition, the participants’ affective experience state significantly influences all three dimensions of commitment to change.Conclusion: The results suggest the importance of fostering a positive and pragmatic understanding of telemedicine among young people. This can be achieved by encouraging the use of telemedicine services and fully adopting the shift to telemedicine. Therefore, it is crucial to prioritize the development of a positive view towards telemedicine, provide excellent service experiences, and promote social flexibility to attract a large user base, especially among the younger population.
