question: OBJECTIVE Our objective was to identify and address patient-perceived barriers to integrating home telehealth visits. DESIGN We used an exploratory sequential mixed-methods design to conduct patient needs assessments, a home telehealth pilot, and formative evaluation of the pilot. SETTING Veterans Affairs Geriatrics-Renal clinic. PARTICIPANTS Patients with scheduled clinic visits from October 2019-April 2020. MEASUREMENTS We conducted an in-person needs assessment and telephone post-visit interviews. RESULTS Through 50 needs assessments, we identified patient-perceived barriers in interest, access to care, access to technology, and confidence. 34 (68%) patients were interested in completing a home telehealth visit, but fewer (32, 64%) had access to the necessary technology or were confident (21, 42%) that they could participate. We categorized patients into four phenotypes based on their interest and capability to complete a home telehealth visit: Interested and Capable, Interested and Incapable, Uninterested and Capable, and Uninterested and Incapable. These phenotypes allowed us to create trainings to overcome patient-perceived barriers. We completed 32 home telehealth visits and 12 post-visit interviews. Our formative evaluation showed that our pilot was successful in addressing many patient-perceived barriers. All interviewees reported that the home telehealth visits improved their wellbeing. Home telehealth visits saved participants an average of 166 minutes of commute time. Five participants borrowed a device from a family member and 5 visits were finished via telephone. All participants successfully completed a home telehealth visit. CONCLUSIONS We identified patient-perceived barriers to home telehealth visits and classified patients into four phenotypes based on these barriers. Using principles of implementation science, our home telehealth pilot addressed these barriers, and all patients successfully completed a visit. Future study is needed to understand methods to deploy larger-scale efforts to integrate home telehealth visits into the care of older adults. This article is protected by copyright.
