A mixed methods realist analysis of telehealth delivery of complex wheelchair assessment in Aotearoa New Zealand: contexts, mechanisms, and outcomes
While therapists can navigate complexity for successful tAWS, therapist and system barriers limit its uptake, particularly confidence in conducting assessment and use of technology among the non-adopters. Telehealth specific training in culturally-responsive rehabilitation is recommended. This evaluation contributes to telehealth program theory and the mechanisms to be addressed for telehealth to meet its potential to enhance equity in health outcomes.
