Background Transitions between healthcare sectors are critical moments for patients and families, particularly those living with complex and multimorbid conditions. Fragmented communication and lack of coordination can result in medication errors, misaligned care plans, and emotional stress for both patients and relatives. Virtual-4-part (V4M) meetings hold the potential to improve continuity, coordination, and shared decision-making, while supporting the involvement of patients and families as active participants in care. Objective This study explores barriers and facilitators to implementing V4M as a tool to enhance person-centered care across sectors. Methods We conducted two interdisciplinary workshops at two emergency departments (ED). Participants included healthcare professionals and leaders from hospitals, general practice, municipal nursing, and nursing homes (12 to 25 participants, respectively). Using the SWOT framework, data were collected via audio recordings and written notes, and analyzed using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). Results There was strong engagement and commitment across sectors to co-create solutions that support continuity and person-centered care. Emerging findings point to determinants across all five CFIR-domains. Innovation level: Barriers included differing expectations and a lack of consensus on patient selection. Facilitators were strong user involvement, shared care planning, and improved patient pathways reducing unnecessary ED visits. Inner setting: Key barriers were time constraints in the ED; facilitators included agreement on shared goals and structured scheduling with GPs. Outer setting: Barriers involved incompatible IT systems, GDPR concerns, short ED stays and overlapping initiatives. Facilitators included integration with GP financial agreements. Individual level: Barriers comprised limited V4M competence and challenges in patient selection. Facilitators involved engaging relatives remotely and empowering patient participation. Implications Understanding implementation challenges and enablers is crucial for embedding V4M in practice. The next phase will evaluate V4M, aiming to improve coordination, shared understanding, and continuity of care for patients and families across healthcare settings.
