Development of a Contextualized, Research-Based Flemish Assessment Framework for Digital Care, Assistance, and Support: Delphi Study Background: The rapid evolution of digital technologies has transformed health, mental health, and social care, offering new modalities of digital care, assistance, and support through web-based platforms, mobile apps, extended reality, wearables, and artificial intelligence (#AI) systems. Despite this proliferation, there is little consensus on what constitutes “high-quality” digital care. Challenges persist regarding data security, interoperability, accessibility, sustainability, and professional competence, whereas existing standards and regulations provide fragmented guidance. Objective: This study aimed to develop a contextualized, consensus-based quality assessment framework for digital care, assistance, and support in Flanders, Belgium. For this purpose, perspectives across technology, organizational processes, and professional competencies were integrated. Methods: The study used a multiphase design comprising (1) 10 expert interviews with Flemish government officials; (2) a narrative literature review of 303 peer-reviewed and gray literature sources; (3) a 3-round Delphi study with 50 experts across 5 domains (end users, facilitators, technology developers, deontology and ethics experts, and digital inclusion and media literacy experts); and (4) 4 complementary focus groups and 3 interviews with specialists in artificial intelligence (#AI), regulation, social work, mental health, and IT. The Delphi rounds gathered iterative feedback through open-ended elicitation, structured rating, and classification of quality criteria. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, whereas qualitative feedback was subjected to thematic analysis. Results: A total of 50 experts participated in round 1, a total of 40 (80%) participated in round 2, and 27 (54%) participated in round 3. Round 1 generated 577 unique quality criteria, consolidated into 26 clusters organized under 3 pillars: technology, organization, and professional competencies. The relative importance across pillars was balanced (mean score 37.29, SD 12.38 for technology; 33.33, SD 10.39 for professional competencies; and 29.80, SD 10.45 for organizations). Accessibility, reliability, and safety ranked highest for the technology; vision, quality monitoring, and infrastructure ranked highest for organization; and support, digital competencies, and ethics ranked highest for professional competencies. The finalized framework included 112 criteria, of which 35 (31.3%) were designated as optional and 77 (68.8%) were designated as minimum requirements. Focus groups and interviews validated the framework’s comprehensiveness and #usability, emphasizing proportional implementation, user centrality, and alignment with European Union regulations. Stakeholders highlighted the need for tools, training, and governance mechanisms to ensure adoption and sustainability. Conclusions: This study produced a codeveloped, context-sensitive quality assessment framework that balances technological robustness, organizational readiness, and professional competence in digital care, assistance, and support. The framework can serve both as a quality safeguard and a developmental road map. Accompanying self-assessment and governance tools enhance practical applicability. Implementation success will depend on governmental support, resource allocation, and structured feedback loops. Future research should pilot the framework in real-world settings, assess its impact, and establish mechanisms for continuous updates to maintain relevance in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Assessment of Telemedicine Perceptions, #usability, and Implementation Barriers Among Physicians in Kazakhstan Using the Telehealth #usability Questionnaire-Model for Assessment of Telemedicine-Kazakhstan Version (TUQ-MAST-KZ) Questionnaire: Pilot Cross-Sectional Survey Study Background: Health care professionals’ perceptions of telemedicine, its #usability, and the presence of organizational barriers are important determinants of the successful implementation of digital solutions in health care. In Kazakhstan, the use of international assessment instruments requires contextual adaptation. The Telehealth #usability Questionnaire-Model for Assessment of Telemedicine-Kazakhstan version (TUQ-MAST-KZ) questionnaire was previously developed and psychometrically validated by integrating elements of the TUQ and MAST frameworks to assess perceptions of telemedicine within the national context. Objective: The aim of this study was to conduct the first pilot application of the TUQ-MAST-KZ questionnaire with physicians in Kazakhstan and perform an initial assessment of the organizational, technical, and educational aspects of telemedicine implementation. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved an anonymous online survey using the TUQ-MAST-KZ questionnaire, which covers perceptions of telemedicine, formats of use, platform #usability, communication-related aspects, telemonitoring, organizational conditions, and implementation barriers. Responses from 156 physicians were analyzed. Stratified nonparametric comparisons were performed by sex, age group, work experience (years), and workplace, adjusted for multiple comparisons. Results: The most used telemedicine formats were telephone consultations (78/156, 50%), video consultations (69/156, 44.2%), chats and messaging applications (57/156, 36.5%), and mobile apps (48/156, 30.8%). The Kazakhstan National Telemedicine Network was used by 14.7% (23/156). Wearable devices were used by 5.8% (9/156). Telemedicine technologies incorporating artificial intelligence (#AI) elements were used regularly by 13.5% (21/156) and occasionally by 32.1% (50/156) and not used by 50.6% (79/156). Positive ratings were as follows: 48.7% (76/156) regarding the simplicity and intuitiveness of telemedicine platforms; 56.4% (88/156) regarding the timeliness of patient condition monitoring; 51.9% (81/156) regarding the effectiveness of telemedicine for the management of patients with chronic diseases. The potential usefulness of telemonitoring for earlier detection of deterioration of a patient’s condition was rated as fairly or very high by 48.7% (76/156); 41% (64/156) rated it as moderate. Only 35.9% (56/156) positively rated the connection’s reliability and stability. Regarding the accuracy of wearable device data transmission, 57.1% (89/156) responded neutrally, potentially indicating ambiguity in perception, limited personal experience, or difficulty evaluating this aspect. Readiness to recommend telemonitoring at the national level was more often rated as moderate, high, or very high (78/156, 50%; 42/156, 26.9%; 14/156, 9%, respectively). Conclusions: This pilot application of the TUQ-MAST-KZ questionnaire showed a generally moderately positive perception of telemedicine by physicians, who recognized its potential clinical and organizational value. However, we identified substantial technical and institutional barriers, including connection instability, concerns about the accuracy of data transmission, insufficient process formalization, and a need for additional training. These preliminary findings should be interpreted in light of the pilot study design; however, they may serve to inform future larger-scale research and the development of organizational measures related to physician training, protocol standardization, and infrastructure support for telemedicine implementation.

Participatory Approach to Program Sustainment: Example From a Multisite National Geriatrics Telemedicine Program Background: Sustainment of evidence-based programs within dynamic health care environments requires ongoing adaptation to internal and external changes. Yet, strategies to support the sustainment of large-scale programs in heterogeneous settings are understudied. We developed and implemented a 3-phase participatory approach to support the sustainment of GRECC Connect, a 19-site Veterans Health Administration program that uses a hub-and-spoke model to expand rural access to geriatric specialty care. Objective: Our goal is to describe a novel participatory approach for identifying sustainment strategies for large-scale health care programs in complex environments, using our experience with GRECC Connect as an example to illustrate the application of this approach. Methods: We implemented the following 3-phase participatory approach with GRECC Connect team members from 19 hub sites. Phase 1: hub site clinicians and staff completed the Program Sustainment Assessment Tool, a publicly available online self-assessment of sustainability capacity. Phase 2: all sites then participated in a virtual retreat to exchange information, knowledge, and experiences related to sustainment strategies. Phase 3: each site submitted a locally-developed sustainment plan created with input from hub site team members. The sustainment plan worksheet included 3 questions asking respondents to reflect on the value of the participatory approach to sustainment. The process and experience of implementing this approach were also documented in structured meeting notes. Responses to Likert scale questions were analyzed with descriptive statistics, and qualitative data were analyzed using conventional content analysis. Results: Overall, there was a high level of participation across all 19 hub sites. In phase 1, a total of 25 individuals from 14 sites responded to the Program Sustainment Assessment Tool survey; in phase 2, a total of 58 individuals from 19 sites attended the retreat; and in phase 3, a total of 17 site sustainment plans were completed. Three primary sustainment paths were proposed and discussed during the retreat. Sites varied in their confidence to sustain program activities, but were able to articulate several barriers and facilitators specific to their site. The level of specificity in the sustainment plans varied considerably across sites. Most sites reported that this participatory approach was “very useful” (ie, ≥7 on a 10-point Likert scale) for planning their program sustainment. Conclusions: This approach offered a framework for sites to learn from one another, anticipate local barriers and facilitators, and move from reflection to identifying next steps for maintaining core program activities. Here, we describe the process used to guide 19 site teams through sustainment activities. We found the process is well-received, with sites reporting that their participation was useful for planning their sustainment journey. In elucidating our process, we provide a blueprint for other programs seeking to support sustainment across heterogeneous health care networks. Trial Registration:

Evaluating a Telemedical Follow-Up Program for Continuity of Care After Hospital Discharge: Prospective Clinical Intervention Study Background: The transition from hospital to primary care is a vulnerable period for patients. Telemedicine may enhance continuity of care; however, evidence on its role in supporting hospital-to-primary-care transitions remains limited. Objective: We implemented and evaluated a telephone-based follow-up program to support the transition from hospital to home and primary care, focusing on patient health as well as patient and health care provider satisfaction. Methods: In this prospective, single-center intervention study (University Hospital Basel, September 2022-December 2024), 234 patients discharged from the emergency unit or internal medicine wards received structured telemedical follow-up for up to 10 days until their first primary care appointment. Primary outcomes were patient health and satisfaction; secondary outcomes were health care provider satisfaction. Data were collected using patient-reported outcome measures, patient-reported experience measures, and provider assessments and analyzed descriptively and analytically (=.05). Results: Patient-reported outcome measure and patient-reported experience measure scores changed during follow-up, while no deterioration was observed. Health care provider satisfaction varied, with telemedical physicians reporting the highest ratings, hospital physicians intermediate ratings, and general practitioners the lowest, citing challenges in information transfer and perceived added value. Conclusions: This study outlines both the potential benefits and the practical challenges of implementing a telephone follow-up program after hospital discharge. Variations in physician satisfaction highlight the need for more user-friendly technical infrastructure and clearer role definitions. Future multicenter studies with broader patient samples, usual care controls, and simplified recruitment processes are required to strengthen the #feasibility and generalizability of this approach.
