مستخلص: | Introduction:The COVID-19 pandemic forced health systems worldwide to make rapid adjustments to patient care. Nationwide stay-at-home mandates and public health concerns increased demand for telehealth to maintain patients' continuity of care. These circumstances permitted observation of telehealth implementation in real-world settings at a large scale. This study aimed to understand clinician and health system leader (HSL) experiences in expanding, implementing, and sustaining telehealth during COVID-19 in the OneFlorida+ clinical research network. Methods:We conducted semistructured videoconference interviews with 5 primary care providers, 7 specialist providers, and 12 HSLs across 7 OneFlorida+ health systems and settings. Interviews were audiorecorded, transcribed, and summarized using deductive team-based template coding. We then used matrix analysis to organize the qualitative data and identify inductive themes. Results:Rapid telehealth implementation occurred even among sites with low readiness, facilitated by responsive planning, shifts in resource allocation, and training. Common hurdles in routine telehealth use, including technical and reimbursement issues, were also barriers to telehealth implementation. Acceptability of telehealth was influenced by benefits such as the providers' ability to view a patient's home environment and the availability of tools to enhance patient education. Lower acceptability stemmed from the inability to conduct physical examinations during the shutdown. Conclusions:This study identified a broad range of barriers, facilitators, and strategies for implementing telehealth within large clinical research networks. The findings can contribute to optimizing the effectiveness of telehealth implementation in similar settings, and point toward promising directions for telehealth provider training to improve acceptability and promote sustainability.
