Barriers and facilitators for cross-language telerehabilitation services: experiences of occupational and physical therapists

Telerehabilitation visits with patients with LEP involve additional tasks that complicate the workflow. Without adequate language support, complex clinical tasks are especially difficult to perform. Digital determinants of health including technology, environmental, communication, human, and organizational factors play an important role. Policy and practice changes at individual, interpersonal, and community levels are needed to improve telerehabilitation services for this population.

Abstract

Telerehabilitation visits with patients with LEP involve additional tasks that complicate the workflow. Without adequate language support, complex clinical tasks are especially difficult to perform. Digital determinants of health including technology, environmental, communication, human, and organizational factors play an important role. Policy and practice changes at individual, interpersonal, and community levels are needed to improve telerehabilitation services for this population.
