Vall d’Hebron

Goal

Analyze the impact of telerehabilitation on the waiting lists of patients with chronic musculoskeletal problems.

Solution

The Vall d'Hebron Hospital used ReHub digital platform to provide telerehabilitation services to its patients with chronic knee, back, and shoulder pathologies.

For 6 months, a mixed rehabilitation system was implemented, at the time of greatest demand due to COVID-19. On average, the combined therapy included 3 face-to-face sessions and 29 telerehabilitation sessions.

Thanks to ReHub, patients save time on transport and commuting to the hospital since they can do their exercises from home. On the other hand, physiotherapists take advantage of ReHub by monitoring patients’ progress remotely, facilitating follow-up, and enabling the personalization of therapy.

Results

It was shown that the use of telerehabilitation with ReHub has a direct impact on the operational improvement of rehabilitation services, achieving a 15% reduction in waiting lists.

• 85% of satisfied patients
• + 16,600 hours of home-based exercises 
• 15% of reduction in waiting lists
