In healthcare today, many patients/clients are increasing using telehealth applications for monitoring their health status. At the same time, in clinics and hospitals, primary care providers (PCPs) including advanced practice nurses are being challenged by patient/client questions concerning healthcare-related information and practices reported on the Internet. This assignment relates to telehealth care, the impacts of telehealth on the nursing role, and the use of standards to evaluate and recommend credible websites to patients.
Assignment Criteria/Directions:
In this paper, students will examine telehealth, discuss one specific emerging telehealth tool, and identify implications of how telehealth impacts emerging telehealth nursing roles. Students will also use standard criteria to identify credible websites for a selected telehealth population and design a teaching plan to empower this population to evaluate health information on the Web.
Include the following in the scholarly paper as the work is composed and organized:
Telehealth Care and Telenursing
Discuss the clinical and non-clinical uses of this technology and provide examples
Identify the required safety and security provisions/standards for telehealth applications:
Ethical (including the American Nurses Association “Code”)
Legal (including “Meaningful Use” according to American Recovery and Reinvestment Act [ARRA])
Regulatory (credentialing and certification)
Generate a table of the major benefits and current challenges to adoption of telehealth applications
Analyze how telehealth affects patients’ empowerment and patients’ engagement in their own health
As a master’s prepared nurse in an advanced practice role, discuss how you would evaluate the quality and effectiveness of a telehealth tool
Telehealth Applications for a Population
Select a patient population using telehealth applications and identify one specific remote monitoring system/telehealth tool that would be appropriate for this patient population
Identify which standardized nursing and medical language(s) are captured by this tool
