Living in the shadow of rural digital vulnerability
Looking Back and Moving Forward
Social prescribing is a health and social model of care which is emerging globally. It is a multifaceted intervention shaped by various contextual factors that can affect its implementation. Our aim was to describe community connectors’ (link workers or navigators) perceptions and experiences delivering social prescribing programs, with a particular interest in identifying implementation factors or themes. We conducted 11 online semi‐structured i…
Analysis of Selected Digital and Connectivity Policies in Canada
This article’s objective is to provide an overview of the implementation and effects of selected digital connectivity policies impacting rural regions in British Columbia, Canada. The article identifies four key federal-level policies/strategies and two provincial-level programs and synthesized publicly available information regarding the implementation and effects of each. The analysis was supplemented with open-ended survey responses from rural…
Usability and Feasibility Testing of an Atrial Fibrillation Educational Website with Patients Referred to an Atrial Fibrillation Specialty Clinic
Access to a credible education website for patients with AF has great potential to complement virtual and hybrid models of care
Response to Buse et al.’s letter to the editor
Community stakeholder‐driven technology solutions towards rural health equity
BACKGROUND: Technology holds great potential for promoting health equity for rural populations, who have more chronic illnesses than their urban counterparts but less access to services. Yet, more participatory research approaches are needed to gather community-driven health technology solutions. The purpose was to collaboratively identify and prioritize action strategies for using technology to promote rural health equity through community stake…
Internet access is a necessity
These analyses found four different patterns of impact related to social, health, financial, and daily living challenges in the context of COVID. Social needs were evident across the four groups; however, we also found nearly 1 in 5 rural-living individuals were impacted by an array of challenges. Access to reliable internet and devices has the potential to support individuals to manage these challenges
Social, political, commercial, and corporate determinants of rural health equity in Canada
People in rural and remote areas often experience greater vulnerability and higher health-related risks as a result of complex issues that include limited access to affordable health services and programs. During disruptive events, rural populations face unique barriers and challenges due to their remoteness and limited access to resources, including digital technologies. While social determinants of health have been highlighted as a tool to unde…
Recognition
Despite the potential for coalitions to mobilize and effect change in addressing the inequities of rural health service access for older adults, broader barriers to their recognition, may undermine their entrepreneurial strategies and success
Results of a knowledge synthesis identifying indicator domains and measures of health system integration
Introduction: Health systems integration is a cornerstone for health system reform enhancing quality of care and health outcomes. Health systems planners invest significant resources to create fully integrated health systems. However, impacts of these efforts are difficult to determine due to the lack of well-defined indicators and tools to measure progress towards integration. The goal of this study was to identify indicator domains and measurem…
Understanding the Landscape
Purpose: The purpose of this pilot study was to describe the needs and experiences of rural individuals commuting to an urban center for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: Data were analyzed from a “Patient Adherence and Satisfaction Survey” conducted by telephone as part of a quality improvement focus, and supplemented with in‐depth semi‐structured interviews with rural patients following PCI. Findings: Both urban and rural patie…
A photovoice study of older adults' conceptualizations of risk
Mobile Device Usage before and during the Covid-19 Pandemic among Rural and Urban Adults
Technology has played a critical role during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite affording a safe way for people to connect with others, the potential for problematic device usage (e.g., overuse, addiction) should be considered. The goal of this study was to examine mobile device use during the COVID-19 pandemic among rural and urban people in Canada. Based on an online survey conducted in the summer of 2021 in British Columbia (n = 465), participants…
