Implementing mobile integrated health for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities: a qualitative readiness assessment.
Article in Disability and health journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAdults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) experience disparities in access to timely, high-quality acute care. Mobile Integrated Health (MIH), a paramedic-led model that utilizes mobile assets to deliver in-home care in coordination with supervising physicians, may address these care gaps. Its adaptation for the IDD population has not been systematically examined.
objectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate stakeholder readiness, perceived barriers, and facilitators for adapting MIH for patients with IDD.
methodsWe recruited 2 community paramedics, 5 clinicians, 4 administrative leaders, and 3 caregivers to participate in semi-structured interviews. Interview guides were developed to assess readiness, barriers, and facilitators for implementing MIH for adults with IDD, informed by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. Interviews were analyzed using a hybrid inductive-deductive thematic approach. Findings from the analysis were then integrated into an Implementation Mapping process.
resultsStakeholders identified three major themes: (1) Effective MIH implementation requires integration with existing systems to support interdisciplinary coordination and sustainability, (2) protocols must be adapted to the behavioral and medical complexities of the IDD population, and (3) MIH overcomes barriers to access and resource utilization and facilitates patient-centered approaches to the care of patients with IDD. Implementation mapping identified multi-level barriers to MIH adoption, including limited awareness, unclear workflows, and funding uncertainty.
conclusionsMIH offers a community-based approach to patient-centered acute care for adults with IDD. Successful implementation will require coordinated strategies addressing clinical, operational, and policy barriers, emphasizing interprofessional collaboration and sustainable reimbursement mechanisms to support long-term adoption.
