Implementation of tele-geriatricmental healthcare for rural veterans: factors influencing care models
Tele-GMH models varied in approach, tailoring their services to fit inner setting characteristics. Barriers and facilitators remained consistent across regions. Attending to inner setting characteristics, ongoing process improvement, and nurturing relationships with stakeholders is critical throughout the implementation of a tele-GMH program. Future research should examine the impact of the varied care delivery models on quantitative outcomes, including metrics related to access and healthcare utilization.
