Barriers and Facilitators to Sustainable Technology Implementation in Care for People With Disabilities-Real World Data From a Three-Year Implementation Programme.

Background: Implementation issues often impede the realisation of the potential benefits of technology in disability care organisations for people with disabilities. Therefore, we conducted a longitudinal study to gain insights into the barriers and facilitators to implementation.

Methods: From 2019 to 2022, data were collected using questionnaires and interviews during 28 implementation projects in 26 disability care organisations.

Evolution of a Post-Overdose Outreach Program in King County, Washington: Lessons Learned Through Continuous Quality Improvement.

Objectives: Emergency Medical Services patients who survive overdose are at high risk for subsequent overdose and death. Programs that seek to link overdose survivors to harm reduction and treatment services are increasingly common, though they vary in design and measured effect. Public Health - Seattle & King County (PHSKC) used a continuous quality improvement (CQI) process to assess and improve a phone-based model for post-overdose outreach in King County, Washington.

Barriers and facilitators influencing implementation of care technology for people with intellectual disabilities: A cross-sectional study among care professionals.

Background: Implementation issues often hinder reaching the potential of care technology to improve daily lives of people with intellectual disabilities. We investigated barriers to and facilitators of implementing different technology modalities (app/social robot/sensor/domotics) in long-term care.

Method: Care professionals (N = 83) from 12 Dutch disability care organisations completed a customised measurement instrument for determinants of innovations (MIDI) questionnaire.

Action Opportunities to Pursue Responsible Digital Care for People With Intellectual Disabilities: Qualitative Study.

Background: Responsible digital care refers to any intentional systematic effort designed to increase the likelihood of a digital care technology developed through ethical decision-making, being socially responsible and aligned with the values and well-being of those impacted by it.

Objective: We aimed to present examples of action opportunities for (1) designing "technology"; (2) shaping the "context" of use; and (3) adjusting the behavior of "users" to guide responsible digital care for people with intellectual disabilities.

Methods: Three cases were considered: (1) design of a web application to support the preparation of meals for groups of people with intellectual disabilities, (2) implementation of an app to help people with intellectual disabilities regulate their stress independently, and (3) implementation of a social robot to stimulate interaction and physical activity among people with intellectual disabilities.
