Digital health has not been widely applied in public health settings. The gap in the literature reflected a lack of population health-based, remote access initiatives. The study examined the implementation of digital health programs, including telehealth, in multi-sectoral government applications. The co-generative model of participatory action research was applied to examine the utility of disseminating information in real-time through increased use of digital health, as well as the impact on practice within the field of public health. The framework was based on the diffusion of innovation theory. The two key research questions included understanding the perceptions of government and community stakeholders of the status of digital health in the county of interest and their perceptions regarding digital health utilization in the sphere of emergency preparedness, mental health, substance use prevention, senior services, and public health education. An additional question examined their recommendations for advancing countywide digital health services. Data were reviewed and analyzed in detail and coded as concepts that became apparent at each stage of the analysis. Results suggested that access to digital health is lacking despite the initial telehealth expansion during the COVID-19 pandemic. Stakeholders recommended improving access to digital healthcare; mitigating barriers such as medical transportation issues; and enhancing existing access to care. They recommended improvements to connectivity (broadband), accounting for lack of access to technology and education on use of technology. Implications for positive social change include streamlined health care access that can further disease prevention and potentially reduce healthcare costs and save lives.
