Study Details

VA is a leader in virtual care (VC), including the patient portal, mobile apps, and telehealth programs. VC has great utility for managing chronic conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, adoption of many VC services has been slow. Lack of awareness about these services is one of the most prominent patient- and healthcare team-facing barriers to adopting VC. This study will develop, refine, and pilot a stakeholder-informed multicomponent implementation strategy to support adoption of VC, referred to as VC-OPTIONS (Virtual Care for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Adoption Support). This feasibility trial will pilot the VC-OPTIONS implementation strategy to assess feasibility and acceptability and gather preliminary effectiveness data to inform a larger hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial. The core component of VC-OPTIONS will be the provision of information via VA's Annie texting program to empower patients with knowledge about the array of VC services and how they can be used to support COPD management. It is hypothesized that this strategy will be acceptable and feasible. This work will improve patient and team awareness of and communication about VC services, and support patient access to VC services for COPD management.
