Telehealth Delivery of Evidence-Based Intervention Within Older Adult Populations: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT: Telehealth services enable individuals to participate in meaningful occupations; however, the evidence on this topic has not been synthesized in older adult populations. This scoping review synthesized the evidence on interventions delivered through telehealth (and the mode of delivery) in occupational therapy for older adult populations. A search for studies on occupational therapy, older adults, and telehealth was performed in six research databases, and identified 536 articles. Four reviewers independently screened the titles and abstracts; and reviewed eligible full text. Ten articles were extracted into a table and summarized through narrative format. The studies focused on performance-based intervention (60%), cognition (10%), health (10%), occupation (10%), and the environment (10%)
