Lessons learned from delivering an internet intervention for insomnia in an Australian public hospital outpatient setting

ConclusionThe findings support Sleep ‐e as a helpful treatment for insomnia in a public hospital outpatient population for at least a subgroup of patients. However, significant lessons were learned regarding the importance of educating health care providers and patients about novel models of internet service delivery. Potential model s of adaptive or blended stepped‐care are discussed to facilitate program implementation. Future research should identify how to implement internet interventions more effectively in public health settings to take advantage of their potential to improve clinical efficiency.
