Sustaining telehealth among cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation services: a qualitative framework study.

There are opportunities for telehealth programs servicing large geographic areas, and to increase program participation rates more broadly. Centralised models of care serving large geographic areas could maximise sustainability with current resource limitations; however, realising the full potential of telehealth will require additional funding for supporting infrastructure and workforce. Individuals and organisations both have roles to play in sustaining telehealth in cardiac and pulmonary services.
