Rapid advances in technology development and telehealth adoption are opening new opportunities for nurses and healthcare providers to leverage technology for safe, high-quality care and improved patient outcomes. Telehealth encompasses a broad definition of telecommunications and information technology-enabled health care.

Explain the following terms:

  • Telehealth
  • Telemedicine
  • Telenursing

Telehealth in its many forms can provide many benefits; however, there are issues that surround this mode of healthcare delivery. Four main issues related to telehealth are:

1. Reimbursement

2. Medicolegal issues/Nursing licensure

3. Technical Issues

4. Research

Please choose one of the following telehealth topics below for your initial response post. Include key aspects of the four issues noted above in your discussion.

  • E-Intensive Care Units
  • Portable Telehealth Self-Monitoring Devices
  • Telehomecare
  • Telemental Health
  • Teletrauma Care

I agree with the relaxation and breathing methods used to help the patient. You mentioned that the patient is wheelchair-bound and has gained weight. These can be a result of low physical activity and immobilization.  Studies have shown that treatment techniques such as relaxation, massage, and active exercises are used for nominalizing respiration and muscular control and helping the patient to become aware of how the body and mind interact ( Breitve, Hynninen & Kyale 2010).

Looking at the age of your client (65 years), as a middle-aged older adults, the stepped-care approach may be effective for her. According to Meuldijk & Wuthrich (2019), stepped-care models are effective in treating depression and anxiety with this population. The goal of stepped care is to offer the most effective but least resourceful intensive intervention for the patient. The starting step of treatment depends on the severity of the patient’s characteristics, and the patients can be stepped up and down during treatment as needed. Thus, having the right service in the right place, at the right time delivered by the right person is important in treating older adults with both depression and anxiety (Meuldijk & Wuthrich 2019).

Literature Review

 

While the implementation plan prepares students to apply their research to the problem or issue they have identified for their capstone project change proposal, the literature review enables students to map out and move into the active planning and development stages of the project.

A literature review analyzes how current research supports the PICOT, as well as identifies what is known and what is not known in the evidence. Students will use the information from the earlier PICOT Question Paper and Literature Evaluation Table assignments to develop a 750-1,000 word review that includes the following sections:

  1. Title page
  2. Introduction section
  3. A comparison of research questions
  4. A comparison of sample populations
  5. A comparison of the limitations of the study
  6. A conclusion section, incorporating recommendations for further research

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
