Lindsay Parsell: A Case Study

In the United States, a renewed interest occurred in telehealth in the 1990s according to McGonigle and Mastrian because of escalating costs, the need for greater access for all

It excludes the option of face-to-face communication during examinations. Finally, telehealth focuses on educational and research purposes involving all types of caregivers with telecommunication between patient and health professionals. Health care delivery in its use of information, records, communication, and will continue to grow with the Internet. The rapid expansion of information technology into daily life and business has healthcare delivery begin to adopt and optimize the use of technology.

monitored by medical professionals. According to McKnight (2012), “Studies indicate patients with telehealth care are noted to have a 25% reduction in the number of inpatient hospital days and a 19% reduction in the rate of hospitalizations” (p. 4).

The benefits of telehealth consultations are immeasurable; clients are able to access a knowledgeable health care professional and receive a telephone triage/assessment and recommendations. This allows the patient to have immediate access to good health advice and quicker solutions. Telemedicine is one of the many vehicles of telehealth; for example, the cardiologist orders an outpatient Holter Monitor trial to evaluate arrhythmias. The technician calls the patient at the sign of any abnormal rhythm and investigate the activity performed when the reading fluctuation then the reported is communicated to the cardiologist. If warranted, the cardiology staff will contact the patient with instructions schedule an immediate appointment. Telehealth services resources would benefit the client in this next example, an individual’s come in for a sick visit expecting a prescription to be written for their illness; they receive informative instructions because of the nature of the

The incorporation of telehealth shows tremendous productivity, because it expands quality services to patients in other regions especially in underservices populations by cutting down on healthcare spending by

daunting task of caring for a rapidly aging and ever expanding population1—the corollary of which is increased need for

When patients leave from appointments with their physicians, or are discharged from the hospital, they are responsible for their care at home. Oftentimes, patients are non-compliant with their treatment plan given to them by their clinician due to lack of understanding, miscommunication or faulty understanding of the treatment plan, lack of access to facilities or requirement of additional guidance. This creates safety issues and causes negative outcomes in the patients’ health. This is where telehealth comes into play to help to continuously monitor patients and provide the assistance needed to maintain optimal patient function. According Cassandra, Graves, and Mooney (2013) telehealth would certainly reduce readmission rates for chronic conditions by giving patients early interventions, serve wider geographic areas, improve patient outcome, provide better services to patients and allow better time management for

On April 8, 2016 at approximately 1500 hours, I made contact with Heather Curtis at 8307 Centennial Road in reference to a domestic dispute. Mrs. Curtis stated that her husband Marc Curtis sent her multiple text messages to her phone stating that she couldn’t have the kids and that the police would have to kill him before he goes to jail or give her the kids back. This was the result of an argument after Mrs. Curtis refused to pick him up from work because he had taken her EBT card. Mrs. Curtis stated that he hasn’t been acting normal and may possibly be going through a psychotic break. Mrs. Curtis was advised to go to the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office to get a restraining order and given a copy of this report number. Mrs. Curtis was also

I will recommend a workflow for Mona Heights Rehabilitation Center (MHRC), restructuring home care services through the introduction of telemedicine for physicians and health professionals connect with wider audience of patients in rural areas, then eventually across other communities by providing live high-definition video applications. The system provides high-definition video, high-quality audio, and the ability to assimilate with several categories of medical equipment ranging from the simple as staying in touch patients of their plan of care to providing, continuing therapy ongoing for patient through exercise with Rehabilitation Specialist.Additionally, by fostering the improvement of increase approaches to enrich the availability and usefulness of collaborative and knowledgeable for the development telemedicine service delivery by enabling and increasing access to healthcare as well as sustaining the system.

“Hi! This is a very interesting topic, as I have used telehealth many times. As an educator for rural cancer centres, I do not have the ability to meet with the staff face-to-face, so telehealth is often used.

The delivery of health care has always been influenced by technological developments and innovations. This is particularly true in modern health care professionals where they are obsessed with technology and rush to apply them. One of the most recent applications of ICT – Information and computer technology- is telehealth. Telehealth is the use of communication, diagnostic and information technology to provide health care when patients and providers are geographically separated [2], Technologies include videoconferencing, the internet, store -and-forward imaging, streaming media, terrestrial and wireless communications. Telehealth could be as simple as two health professionals discussing a case over the telephone or as

Improving your patients’ satisfaction is also about incorporating systems that allow you to make information about you and your practice more accessible for your current and potential patients. Your practice should be accessible through social media, texting, email and telephone. In addition, the convenience of patient portals, the ability to pay balances online, as well as complete online surveys and schedule appointments improves your patients’ experience.

Patient engagement is another key area of focus for eClinicalWorks. The company has created a voice assistant, called “healow”, which is a patient engagement tool that comprises the ability for patients to check-in through the kiosk. This tool has the capability to make online appointment bookings, telehealth solutions, as well as mobile applications that will directly connect patients to their health records that facilitates two-way communication between patients and providers. Effective patient engagement will quickly gain traction as a foundation for ensuring a successful and high-performing medical practice environment. This can be applied through automated messaging, live operators, and convenient patient portal as engagement services

There are several forms of technology that is used to monitor, assist patients with self-care management, assist physicians with delivering care to their patients, including consultation with specialist, and overcoming barriers with transportation. “60% of the healthcare executives, physicians, and nurses in this inaugural survey said that telemedicine was a high priority for 2015“ (Vockley, 2015, para. 7) Telemedicine
