Setting

This study was conducted in hospitals in Saudi Arabia. Healthcare professionals employed and providing care to patients in Saudi Arabia were recruited for the study. The findings from this study will inform the factors impacting telehealth utilization and interprofessional interactions.

#### Participants

The inclusion criteria were for the healthcare professional to be employed and licensed. The survey was emailed to physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, EMS specialists, social workers, physical therapists, and occupational therapists. Professions were identified based on the most common health providers for multidisciplinary healthcare work and involvement in COVID-19 treatment. Professionals were identified through snowballing sampling. The healthcare team's local healthcare professional network was used to initiate the first responses and asked that the survey be shared with those individual colleagues from November 2021 until March 2022. Of those who opened the survey link, 63% completed the survey; there were 127 surveys started and 80 completed. Among the 66 individuals in the final sample, 50% were female, and 43.9% were citizens of Saudi Arabia. Regarding the primary profession, 66.7% were nurses, followed by physicians (18.2%), respiratory therapists (10.6%), and EMS specialists (4.6%). The majority of the participants (66.7%) had been licensed for less than 10 years, with each of the other categories (11–15 years, 16–20 years, and more than 21 years) representing about 33.3% of the sample (Table 1).
