INTRODUCTION: The main goal of this study was to assess the feasibility of a head-mounted display (HMD) providing telemedicine neurosurgical support during a decompressive craniectomy by a military surgeon who is isolated from readily available neurosurgical care. The secondary aim was to assess the usability perceived by the military surgeon and to evaluate technical aspects of the head-mounted display. MATERIALS AND METHODS: After a standard concise lecture, 10 military surgeons performed a decompressive craniectomy on a AnubiFiX-embalmed post-mortem human head...

BACKGROUND: The rapid expansion of telehealth services, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, necessitates systematic evaluation to guarantee the quality, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of telehealth services and programs in the United States. While numerous evaluation frameworks have emerged, crafted by various stakeholders, their comprehensiveness is limited, and the overall state of telehealth evaluation remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: The overarching goal of this scoping review is to create a comprehensive overview of telehealth evaluation, incorporating perspectives from multiple stakeholder categories...

BACKGROUND: When the US Department of Health and Human Services instituted a State of Public Health Emergency (PHE) during the COVID-19 pandemic, many telehealth flexibilities were fast-tracked to allow state Medicaid agencies to reimburse new specialty services, sites of care, and mediums such as FaceTime to communicate with patients.. This resulted in expanded access to care for financially vulnerable Medicaid patients, as evidenced by an uptick in telehealth use. Research has mostly focused on telehealth reimbursement for limited use cases such as rural primary care, without broader consideration for how telehealth can be appropriately mainstreamed and maintained...

BACKGROUND: Despite the existence of American Cleft Palate and Craniofacial Association (ACPA)-approved Cleft and Craniofacial Teams, access to multidisciplinary team-based care remains challenging for patients from rural areas, leading to disparities in care. We investigated the geospatial relationship between U.S. counties and ACPA-approved centers. METHODS: The geographic location of all ACPA-approved cleft and craniofacial centers in the U.S. was identified...

OBJECTIVE: The present study, conducted with a population of military families, examined the comparative effectiveness of three program formats of Adaptive Parenting Tools (ADAPT), a parenting program for families of school-aged children in which a National Guard or Reserve (NG/R) parent had returned from deployment to the post-9/11 conflicts. Despite well-documented need, parenting programs for NG/R families are scarce and often inaccessible. We predicted that both facilitator-delivered conditions (i...

INTRODUCTION: Training future providers in telehealth and integrated care models can improve access and outcomes, especially among rural and underserved populations. The (blinded) project implemented behavioral health training for health service psychology doctoral students with three partner organizations. Trainees received both experiential and didactic training in telehealth and integrated behavioral health. Telehealth was utilized for remote warm hand-offs, hybrid shared appointments, therapy sessions, coordination with providers, and supervision...

Auscultation is a fundamental diagnostic technique that provides valuable diagnostic information about different parts of the body. With the increasing prevalence of digital stethoscopes and telehealth applications, there is a growing trend towards digitizing the capture of bodily sounds, thereby enabling subsequent analysis using machine learning algorithms. This study introduces the SonicGuard sensor, which is a multichannel acoustic sensor designed for long-term recordings of bodily sounds. We conducted a series of qualification tests, with a specific focus on bowel sounds ranging from controlled experimental environments to phantom measurements and real patient recordings...

Background : There has been an increase in people with disabilities who require continuous care, which often falls to informal carers (ICs). Stroke is one of the conditions where ICs are most needed. Therefore, it is necessary for ICs to improve their caregiving skills and self-care capacity. Telehealth (TH) can facilitate them. The aim of this systematic review is to summarize the evidence of the effects of interventions on ICs of stroke patients. Methods : The search was conducted in Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINALH, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, and APA PsycInfo...

This narrative review discusses the importance of rehabilitation in rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs), ultimately aiming to reduce their impact on individuals and society. It specifically emphasizes the need for rehabilitation in inflammatory arthritis (IA), particularly in cases where medical management is insufficient. It acknowledges that the complexity of rehabilitation demands a flexible approach. Thereby, it touches on the various models of rehabilitation, which may include multidisciplinary team care, extended practice models, shared care, remote care, and work rehabilitation...

Background : Physical therapy plays a crucial role in addressing the physical challenges faced by individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, physical therapists (PTs) working in special education centers for ASD children were tasked with deploying remote telehealth interventions (RTIs), an uncommon approach in physical therapy until then. The present article aims to describe and discuss the PTs' perspective of using RTI with children with ASD during the national Israeli COVID-19 lockdown...

(1) This paper aims to propose a telematic method for assessing the state of disability by a social worker member of the Medico-Legal Commissions of INPS. (2) We have proceeded to delve into and compare the current methods with new strategies to enhance the experience linked to the assessment of the status of disability in terms of timing and accessibility, eliminating the need for a direct visit. (3) The proposed protocol can be applied in cases where patients cannot be physically moved, following a medical visit at home, and when the mere evaluation of documents is sufficient...

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for advance care planning (ACP) as a way to help mitigate the various care concerns that accompanied the healthcare crisis. However, unique obstacles to typical ACP practice necessitated the need for guidance and innovation to help facilitate these vital conversations. The aim of this systematic review was to identify the various ACP barriers and facilitators that arose during the pandemic and determine how ACP practice was affected across different contexts and among different populations...

While telemedicine infrastructure was in place within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) healthcare system before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, geographically varying ordinances/closures disrupted vital care for chronic disease patients such as those with type 2 diabetes. We created a national cohort of 1,647,158 non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black, and Hispanic veterans with diabetes including patients with at least one primary care visit and HbA1c lab result between 3.5% and 20% in the fiscal year (FY) 2018 or 2019...

BACKGROUND: Chronic pain is a leading cause of disability and negatively impacts biological/physical, psychological, and social aspects of life resulting in significant pain interference or disability. This project was part of a longitudinal mixed-methods implementation evaluation of the TelePain-Empower Veterans Program (EVP), a non-pharmacological chronic pain intervention. The purpose of this quality management project was to examine electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROs) including primary pain-related (intensity, interference, catastrophizing, kinesiophobia) and secondary outcomes (physical, psychological, acceptance, social) to determine TelePain-EVP effectiveness...

Cancer peer support groups are crucial in improving quality of life outcomes and extending cancer survival. Using the Health Belief Model (HBM) and Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as guiding frameworks, this study examined perceptions of telehealth-based cancer support groups among individuals treated for cancer at a rural oncology program. We distributed online surveys to 34 survivors or individuals undergoing cancer treatment who actively participated in virtual cancer support groups, achieving a 79.4% response rate (27 participants)...
