Home safety assessments and subsequent modifications can prevent hospitalization, institutionalization, and death among older adults. Telehealth has been shown to be an effective means to administer home safety assessments. However, a structured approach to synchronous telehealth home assessments has not been examined. This study involved development and validation of a structured telehealth home assessment protocol. The Protocol for Administering Telehealth Home (PATH) assessment was developed based on literature review, clinical experience with in-person and telehealth home assessments, and interviews with content experts. Six older adults participated in the validation phase of the protocol using a quasiexperimental, mixed-methods, one-group research design. The validation process resulted in modifications to the protocol to enhance its utility in practice. The PATH protocol provides a valid, structured approach to conducting synchronous telehealth home assessments and can be used by occupational therapists to administer home assessments for older adults desiring to age in place.
