Hospital-at-Home for South Asian Communities in British Columbia, Canada: Qualitative Interview Study
South Asian patients and caregivers recognize both challenges in traditional hospital care and potential benefits of Hospital-at-Home services. Implementation strategies that address systemic barriers, integrate cultural and linguistic considerations, and engage trusted community networks are essential to improving equity, access, and satisfaction. Findings highlight the need for culturally responsive, patient-centered approaches in the design and delivery of virtual health services for racialized populations.
