Facilitators and challenges of implementing a digital patient education programme for rheumatoid arthritis into clinical practice.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The integration of telehealth interventions into clinical practice is frequently delayed, hindering the full adoption. Previously, we developed a digital patient education (PE) programme for self-management in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

The purpose of this study was to explore perspectives crucial to implementation of a digital PE programme in clinical practice.

Methods

The non-adoption, abandonment, scale-up, spread and sustainability (NASSS) framework was used to evaluate the successes and challenges of implementing the digital PE programme. We included a data set consisting of
