LIVE Program Evaluation
The evaluation of the LIVE Program will develop preliminary evidence on the acceptability and feasibility of using a multicomponent application to deliver a care coordination platform virtually. Findings on the program design, implementation, and user preferences can be used to iterate the platform to create a more mature technological solution and to increase long-term adoption of virtual care for complex care populations. The results of this work can be used as a basis for the design of future studies on virtual care for the home mechanical ventilation population and for sample size calculations to reach statistical power and demonstrate effectiveness in different regions of Ontario and Canada. Evidence from future long-term and well-powered studies can then be used to translate the findings of the LIVE Program to the development of virtual care platforms for other complex patient populations.
