OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to describe the process and cost of
delivering a physical therapist-guided synchronous telehealth exercise program
appropriate for older adults with functional limitations. Such programs may help
alleviate some of the detrimental impacts of social distancing and quarantine on
older adults at-risk of decline. METHODS: Data were derived from the feasibility
arm of a parent study, which piloted the telehealth program for 36 sessions with
1 participant. The steps involved in each phase (ie, development, delivery) were
documented, along with participant and program provider considerations for each
step. Time-driven activity-based costing was used to track all costs over the
course of the study. Costs were categorized as program development or delivery
and estimated per session and per participant. RESULTS: A list of the steps and
the participant and provider considerations involved in developing and delivering
a synchronous telehealth exercise program for older adults with functional
impairments was developed. Resources used, fixed and variable costs, per-session
cost estimates, and total cost per person were reported. Two potential measures
of the "value proposition" of this type of intervention were also reported.
Per-session cost of $158 appeared to be a feasible business case, especially if
the physical therapist to trained assistant personnel mix could be improved.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings provide insight into the process and costs of
developing and delivering telehealth exercise programs for older adults with
functional impairments. The information presented may provide a "blue print" for
developing and implementing new telehealth programs or for transitioning
in-person services to telehealth delivery during periods of social distancing and
quarantine. IMPACT: As movement experts, physical therapists are uniquely
positioned to play an important role in the current COVID-19 pandemic and to help
individuals who are at risk of functional decline during periods of social
distancing and quarantine. Lessons learned from this study's experience can
provide guidance on the process and cost of developing and delivering a
telehealth exercise program for older adults with functional impairments. The
findings also can inform new telehealth programs, as well as assist in
transitioning in-person care to a telehealth format in response to the COVID-19
pandemic.
