Exploring the Influence of Digitalization on Multidisciplinary Poststroke Rehabilitation Practice: Qualitative Study

Health care professionals used various technologies in their daily specialist practices, as well as for the coordination and follow-up of stroke survivors after referral to community services. This study identified several organizational processes, roles, standards, and rules that can act as barriers or drivers to implementing digital technologies in practice. Viewing familiar digital technology as a supplement to existing practices, rather than as a singular solution for all areas of specialized stroke rehabilitation, offers significant potential for quality improvement. These findings provide valuable insights for technology developers, health care personnel, and user groups in specialized neurological rehabilitation settings.

Abstract

Health care professionals used various technologies in their daily specialist practices, as well as for the coordination and follow-up of stroke survivors after referral to community services. This study identified several organizational processes, roles, standards, and rules that can act as barriers or drivers to implementing digital technologies in practice. Viewing familiar digital technology as a supplement to existing practices, rather than as a singular solution for all areas of specialized stroke rehabilitation, offers significant potential for quality improvement. These findings provide valuable insights for technology developers, health care personnel, and user groups in specialized neurological rehabilitation settings.
