Conducting a Global Quadruple Aim Thematic Analysis of Telemedicine Performance in Rural Indigenous Populations and Evidence-Based Recommendations for Improvement
Telehealth is a growing form of healthcare delivery across the world, particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic. Its impact on patient populations particularly in aboriginal and rural communities poses many questions. As health disparities between aboriginal groups living in rural areas on reserves and the rest of Canadian demographics remain mountainous, telemedicine
is often seen as the path forward in reducing healthcare gaps.
Past research conducted lacks a comprehensive framework or tool in which it analyzes the efficacy of outcomes. This article uses the quadruple to analyze telemedicine performance, and assert evidence-based recommendations for improvement including barriers to telemedicine delivery and usage in aboriginal and identifies evidence-based solutions to alleviate concerns
and bolster care.
