Prioritizing clinical services for telehealth: the development of a model

Summary

Abstract	Abstract An increase in the demand for telehealth services has caused an issue in the availability of sufficient resources to meet all the desired service implementations. This is causing the belief that it has become necessary to prioritize the selection of new telehealth services. It is anticipated that it is feasible to develop a model that would facilitate an accurate assessment of program opportunities. The model would assist in the selection of the most appropriate projects based on evidence. There is much literature on evidence-based decision-making in healthcare. There is however limited literature with respect to the utilization of these methodologies to prioritize the telehealth industry. This project assesses the need of doing so and the feasibility of developing a model to facilitate this need. It also takes a preliminary assessment of the necessary criteria and format required to best meet the immediate needs within the Northern Health Authority.
