The development of digital technologies leads to a digital transformation of the healthcare system. Recently, digital healthcare has been developing dynamically, including its component part – telerehabilitation after a stroke. However, the novelty of technologies, their diversity, low awareness of doctors and healthcare organizers, and other reasons, do not allow healthcare organizations to use all their tools to manage organizational, managerial and medical problems of medical rehabilitation after a stroke. The aim of the study is to systematize information on telemedicine and cross-cutting digital technologies used in organizing medical rehabilitation of patients who have suffered a stroke, as well as the development of approaches to manage of these technologies to constantly improve the quality of healthcare and increase patient satisfaction. Materials and methods. The study used methods of information retrieval, analytical and synthetic research, etc. Results. The study showed that the development of technologies leads to an increase in the use of cross-cutting digital technologies in telemedicine rehabilitation of stroke patients. The results indicate the possibility of improving the quality and accessibility of medical care using telerehabilitation and cross-cutting technologies, expanding medical coverage, and improving therapeutic results in recovery of patients’ health. The PDCA cycle can be used to manage telerehabilitation and digital technologies. Findings. The introduction of digital technologies into telemedicine practice can reduce the workload of health workers and improve manageability with respect to a patient-centric approach. The use of quality management system principles and PDCA cycle can provide the standardization of telerehabilitation management, improve the quality of healthcare and patient satisfaction, contributing to the sustainable development of healthcare organizations.
