Assignment 2: Telecommunication Technology and the Delivery of Health Services Scholarly Paper (30 points)
In healthcare today, many patients/clients are increasing using remote telehealth applications (mHealth) for monitoring their health status. At the same time, in clinics and hospitals, primary care providers (PCPs) including master’s prepared 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 master’s prepared nursing role, and the use of standards to evaluate and recommend credible websites to patients.
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.
