1. Using Telerehabilitation as a case study, put yourself in the shoes of an implementation facilitator, and reflect upon the fit of Telerehabilitation using the following discussion prompts:

• How does the proposed intervention fit with the priorities of your organizations?
=>Increased Access to Care: telerehabilitation on improving physical activity, physical function, and quality of life in patients. Telerehabilitation is effective, safe, and feasible in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,[15] patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and patients undergoing chemotherapy.
=>Improved Efficiency: telerehabilitation services are more cost-effective and, at the same time, have the same treatment results compared to traditional (face-to-face) rehabilitation.
=>Cost-Effectiveness:Due to the moment-to-moment access to treatment, telerehabilitation improves treatment compliance, reduces trips to the doctor’s office, and ultimately improves patient satisfaction.
=>Enhanced Patient Outcomes: telerehabilitation for patients after knee arthroplasty, in contrast to traditional rehabilitation, had a better effect on functional improvement and subsequently the quality of life of patients.
• How does it fit with community values, including the values of diverse cultural groups?
