Description
Marina B Wasilewski and colleagues present a 2026 interview study of a hybrid stroke rehabilitation program in Toronto. The program mixes in-person and video sessions for outpatients, aiming to deliver therapy doses that clinics rarely sustain. The team interviewed 14 health care providers who deliver it, framing questions with an implementation science model.
Four themes emerged. Providers valued the model's flexibility. Fit with patient needs and resources mattered greatly. Hospital resources and infrastructure shaped what was possible. And confidence in video care varied widely between providers. The authors conclude that fixing virtual care processes and resources could protect access and quality. Providers wanted video care kept as a permanent part of stroke rehabilitation, with its drawbacks actively managed.
