We've seen a rapid rise in the use of #telehealth in oncology since the COVID-19 pandemic. What does research show about its implementation & barriers/ enablers? We examined #implementation using the #REAIM framework in a #SystematicReview: https://t.co/EDfFxzmTfm @usansomdaly
What are the implications for further #telehealth#implementation & practice? We need:
🟡Sufficient support for pts & healthcare professionals
🟡 Improved training & infrastructure
🟡 Better access to reliable internet & electronic devices
