New Publication! Telehealth Outreach Program for Child Traumatic Stress: Strategies for Long-Term Sustainability

Posted on October 24, 2024 by Samantha D'Orio

The MUSC Telehealth for Trauma team has a new publication available in healthcare, which shares findings from a mixed-methods approach, where data were collected on telehealth implementation processes and facilitators and barriers to the delivery of telehealth TF-CBT. This study was guided by an adapted implementation science framework, namely the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment (EPIS) model. Interviews and surveys were completed with clinical site leaders who had participated in the telehealth TF-CBT training. The feedback gained from this project assisted in the development of implementation strategies for increased adoption and sustainment of TF-CBT delivered via telehealth.
