Frontiers: Evaluating the Implementation of a Community Engaged Telehealth Based Intervention for the Unhoused

Unhoused individuals experience numerous barriers to health care access and higher morbidity and mortality rates than housed individuals. In collaboration with community-based organizations (CBOs) and health care profession learners, researchers developed a program involving in-person and telehealth visits at a CBO clinic and via street medicine outreach to address health care needs of the unhoused. This implementation evaluation involving key stakeholders of a community engaged telehealth-based intervention for the unhoused provides thematic considerations to guide program implementation and sustainability to improve health equity for vulnerable populations.
