摘要

Background

In digital health innovations, sustainable implementation should be considered from the initiation of the development to ensure that the solution fits into the existing healthcare system. This study aims at identifying barriers and facilitators for the prospective implementation of a digital behavioral intervention for chronic pain in the Swedish healthcare system, as perceived by key stakeholders.

Methods

Eight semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with stakeholders (n = 2 IT developers, n = 4 healthcare managers, n = 2 healthcare professionals). Qualitative data were analyzed using a framework analysis following the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR).

Results

A total of 86 facilitators and 38 barriers to prospective implementation were identified across stakeholder interviews. Facilitators included perceived relevance of the digital intervention and organizational readiness. Identified barriers primarily related to insufficient training and supervision, unclear decision-making processes (e.g., specific actions, responsibilities of stakeholders), and the lack of systematic needs assessment to guide implementation planning.

Conclusion

Overall, findings indicate a high level of openness toward digital interventions within the implementation context. While implementation context largely demonstrates readiness, successful integration will depend on proactively addressing identified barriers. Awareness of these factors enhances the likelihood of successful and sustainable implementation.
