I2I-4-Telehealth

I2I-4-Telehealth is a practical guide for knowledge translation for telehealth. 

Download the I2I-4-Telehealth Guide here >>

I2I-4-Telehealth stands for Innovation to Implementation for Telehealth. It is a 7-step tool to use knowledge translation activities to plan changes associated with a telehealth innovation. It is an action-oriented tool and does not assume any background in science or theoretical knowledge translation models.

Translating knowledge into practice involves change for individuals and organisations and often works best when bringing a wide range of participants to the planning table. This guide, created by members of the CRE in Telehealth Research team, aims to help you plan your move from innovation to implementation, including thinking about who are the key players to involve.

The seven steps are:

1.      State the purpose of your knowledge translation plan

2.      Select an innovation

3.      Specify key players and actions

4.      Identify agents of change

5.      Design your knowledge translation plan

6.      Implement the plan

7.      Evaluate

The I2I approach was originally developed by the Mental Health Commission of Canada in a resource first published in 2012 and revised in 2014 -  Innovation to Implementation: A Practical Guide to Knowledge Translation in Health Care. The approach was adapted for the Australian setting and used in dementia and aged care (I2I-A) by the Dementia Collaborative Research Centres, Australia - Goodenough B, Young M. (2014)Innovation to Implementation - Australia: A Practical Guide to Knowledge Translation in Health Care (with examples from aged care and dementia). I2I-4-Telehealth builds on the Australian adaptation.

The CRE also looked at the business processes of telehealth, such as the implementation of telehealth in RACFs and developing trust development in telemedicine.

The Teledermatology team focused on the use of store-and-forward to provide teledermatology services, and explored the following: 

  • A store-and-forward Emergency Skin Service for the diagnosis and management of acute skin conditions
  • The use of mobile teledermoscopy in skin cancer detection

The CRE also developed the evaluation of telehealth in a cost-benefit framework.
