Abstract
Patients with a spinal cord injury (SCI) often require follow-up care from a specialized provider to help reduce complications. The project sited noted that poor follow-up attendance was due to the distance the patients were from the specialty site and sought an evidence-based approach to manage follow-ups. The purpose of this quantitative, quasi-experimental quality improvement project was to determine if the implementation of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) A Toolkit for Building and Growing a Sustainable Telehealth Program in Your Practice would improve attendance rates for follow-up appointments among SCI patients.
