This paper aims to develop a telehealth success model and discusses three critical components: (1) health information quality, (2) electronic health record system quality, and (3) telehealth service quality to ensure effective telehealth service delivery, reduce professional burnout, and enhance access to care. The paper applied a policy analysis method and discussed telehealth applications in rural health, mental health, and veterans health services. The results pointed out the fact that, although telehealth paired with semantic/organizational interoperability facilitates value-based and team-based care, challenges remain to enhance user (both patients and clinicians) experience and satisfaction. The conclusion indicates that approaches at systemic and physician levels are needed to reduce disparities in health technology adoption and improve access to telehealth care.

Department of Neurology and Movement Disorders Center, Seoul National University Hospital, College of Medicine, Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea.
Background: There remains a significant gap in systematic research on healthcare utilization behaviors and the influencing factors for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), particularly those in late stages.
Methods: PD patients in late stage (Hoehn and Yahr (HY) stages 4 and 5) and their caregivers from Seoul National University Hospital Movement Disorders Clinic participated. A total of 103 respondents completed a questionnaire covering medical utilization behaviors, perceptions of face-to-face and telemedicine consultations, and additional medical service needs.
Enhancing engagement in parenting programs: A comparative study of in-person, online, and telehealth formats.
Child Youth Serv Rev

Department of Psychology, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ, USA.
Introduction: Parenting programs are widely used to prevent and ameliorate children's emotional and behavioral problems but low levels of engagement undermine intervention effectiveness and reach within and beyond research settings. Technology can provide flexible and cost-effective alternate service-delivery formats for parenting programs, and studies are needed to assess the extent to which parents are willing to engage with digitally assisted formats.
Methods: After Deployment, Adaptive Parenting Tools (ADAPT) is an evidence-based parenting program for military families.
Effect of telemental health adoption on mental health services utilization in federally qualified health centers.

Introduction: Mental health issues disproportionately affect rural and low-income populations, where access to prevention and treatment is limited. Implementing telemental health services (TMHS) in Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) could improve accessibility to mental healthcare. This study assessed the effect of TMHS on mental health services utilization in FQHCs, comparing centers with and without TMHS and examined differences in TMHS effect between FQHCs that adopted TMHS before and during the pandemic.

Background: The aging global population and the rising prevalence of chronic disease and multimorbidity have strained health care systems, driving the need for expanded health care resources. Transitioning to home-based care (HBC) may offer a sustainable solution, supported by technological innovations such as Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) platforms. However, the full potential of IoMT platforms to streamline health care delivery is often limited by interoperability challenges that hinder communication and pose risks to patient safety.

An academic health center (AHC) that provides primary care to an urban, underresourced population recognized the need for an integrated model of care to address behavioral health needs. The Ambulatory Integration of the Medical and Social (AIMS) Collaborative Care Model's five pillars provided the framework and enhanced outcomes through tailored initiatives at the AHC, expanding to onsite satellite locations in senior subsidized housing, and through telehealth services. The results showed increased access to behavioral health care and improved depression and anxiety symptoms.
