Many underserved communities, especially those in rural settings, face unique challenges that make high quality healthcare less accessible. The implementation of eHealth technologies has become a potentially valuable option to disseminate interventions. The authors' work in rural Alabama Federally Qualified Health Centers provide insights into the access to technology as well as the likelihood of utilizing eHealth technology in underserved communities. This paper will review current challenges related to digital dissemination of behavioral health interventions for chronic pain. Two major concerns are the lack of technological resources and the lack of appropriate materials for patients who may have low levels of reading, health and/or digital literacy. We will propose some recommendations to address common barriers faced by those providing care.
许多未得到充分服务的社区,尤其是农村地区的社区,面临着独特的挑战,这些挑战使得高质量医疗服务难以获得。电子健康技术的实施已成为传播干预措施的一个潜在有价值的选择。作者在阿拉巴马州农村联邦合格健康中心的工作,为了解技术获取情况以及在服务不足社区使用电子健康技术的可能性提供了见解。本文将回顾与慢性疼痛行为健康干预措施的数字传播相关的当前挑战。两个主要问题是缺乏技术资源,以及缺乏适合阅读、健康和/或数字素养水平可能较低的患者的材料。我们将提出一些建议,以解决提供护理者面临的常见障碍。
