Mock Telehealth Scenario between a Nurse and a Patient Paper

Mock Telehealth Scenario between a Nurse and a Patient Paper

Using Telehealth to improve patient outcomes. Telehealth is the use of technology in healthcare diagnostics and healthcare delivery. Telehealth has been shown to increase access to care, improve patient care outcomes, reduce costs, better utilize healthcare resources, and be highly satisfying to patients and healthcare consumers. This assignment explores the use of telehealth technologies and the application to nursing practice. Create a video demonstration that involves a nurse-patient scenario. For example, nurses providing patient education and health promotion via telehealth. Imagine you are discharging a patient from your unit that resides long distance away. This patient will be followed at home using remote monitoring. Assume this patient has never heard of telehealth. What information would be important for the nurse to convey about telehealth.

The telehealth demonstration should be between 10 – 15 minutes in duration. Here are some examples of activities you may engage with a patient

 Training patients in the use of technology to strengthen their social network.

 Providing health education remotely.

 Monitoring body functions and lifestyle.

 Providing psychosocial support.

 Encouraging patients to undertake health promotion activities. 14 Updated December, 2020

 Instructing patients and family care givers in self-care

 Medication reconciliation to assess for high-risk medications.

 Assessing patient capacity to use telehealth and educating them.

 Evaluating and adjusting the patient plan of care.

 Coordination of care with the use of telehealth technology.

 Monitoring patient outcomes via telehealth. In telenursing, the nurse needs to be aware of:  Words/language used  Tone and tempo of speech  Facial expressions and physical body language (video conferencing).  A close attention to the patient’s subjective notations. Resources:  TeleNurse Health Minute   I Am a Telehealth Nurse | Cincinnati Children’s   Telehealth Resource Center http://www.telehealthresourcecenter.org/  Telehealth as a Tool for Nursing   John Hopkins Telemedicine: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/telemedicine/

Example of nurse-patient dialogue:

Nurse Patient My name is Denise. Can I speak to Margaret Brown please? This is Margaret Brown. Who are you and what do you want? My name is Denise Jordan. I am a nurse with your health plan. They have identified you as a person who would benefit from participating in a health promotion program What? My health plan identified me as someone who would benefit from what? I’m not sick This has nothing to do with you being sick. A health promotion program is one that works with the patient to take active steps to prevent the development of a health problem in the future. So what’s this going to cost or how much more are my monthly premiums going to go up because of this? 15 Updated December, 2020 This is part of your health plan. The cost for this is already included in your monthly premium. But I am not sick, why do I need this? Your health plan has identified you as someone who is healthy. You don’t use your benefits and as an added bonus, you have access to nurses to answer your questions and make sure that you are taking advantage of all of the steps available to keep you as healthy as possible

“Nurses should take responsibility for their personal and professional growth by continuing their education and seeking opportunities to develop and exercise their leadership skills” The PDSA project will provide the student the experience to initiate and coordinate planned change in a health care organization. The purpose of this assignment is to engage the student in analysis of an evidence-based practice scenario within their clinical experiences. The assignment will be divided into four phases:

#1). Part I: Plan

I plan to: Here you will write a concise statement of what you plan to do Example: “I plan to: test a process of giving out satisfaction surveys and getting them filled out and back to us”.

I hope this produces: Here you can put a measurement or an outcome that you hope to achieve. Example: I hope this produces at least 25 completed surveys per week during this campaign.

#2). Steps to execute: Here is where you will write the steps that you are going to take in this cycle. You will want to include the following:

 Problem Identification: Identify a clinical problem that you observed in the clinical site. Digging up clinical problems can start with observations of clinical practice on your unit, asking staff about the problems they face when delivering care, looking through policies and procedures and guidelines of care to assess if there is a standard or policy to improve practice. Talking with patients about their perceptions of the care they are receiving and asking clinical questions that address the clinical implication of the observation. Is there a problem, a patient or a population there is negatively affected by the present standard of practice? Once this P factor is determined without a present resolution, then a clinical question should be developed using the PICOT process.

 The population this could be a patient, a problem, a population, a unit, a division, or organization problem.

 The time limit that you are going to do this project—remember, it does not have to be long, just long enough to get your results. You may set a time limit of 1 week but find out after 4 hours that it does not work. You can terminate the cycle at that point because you got your results.

 Review of literature: What level of knowledge is out there to address the problem, are there any evidence-based guidelines already published. Most of the literature reviewed should utilize systematic reviews, meta-analysis, or clinical 11 Updated December, 2020 guidelines. Individual studies review expert opinion articles and clinical articles can be used as supportive literature for clinical issues with limited research.

Example: Steps to execute

1. Problem and population same day post-surgical patients do not answer the survey about satisfaction with services.

2. Found that if surveys are easily accessible the response may be increased.

3. We will display the surveys at the checkout desk.

4. The checkout attendant will encourage the patient to fill out a survey and put it in the box next to the surveys.

5. We will try this for 1 week.

#3). Part II: Do After you have your plan, you will execute it or set it in motion. During this implementation, you will be keen to watch what happens once you do this. What did you observe? Here you will write down observations you have during your implementation. This may include how the patients react, how the nurses react, how it fit in with your organizational system. You will ask, “Did everything go as planned?” “Did I have to modify the plan?”

Example: What did you observe?

 We noticed that patients often had other things to attend to at this time, like making an appointment or paying for services and did not feel they could take on another task at this time.

 The checkout area can get busy and backed up at times.

 The checkout attendant often remembered to ask the patient if they would like to fill out a survey.

Part III: Study After implementation you will study the results. What did you learn? Did you meet your measurement goals? Here you will record how well it worked, if you met your goal.

Example: We only had 8 surveys returned at the end of the week. This process did not work well. 12 Updated December, 2020 Part IV: Act What did you conclude from this cycle? Here you will write what you came away with for this implementation, whether it worked or not. And if it did not work, what you can do differently in your next cycle to address that. If it did work, are you ready to spread it across your entire practice?

Example: Patients did not want to stay to fill out the survey once their visit was over. We need to give patients a way to fill out the survey when they have time. We will encourage them to fill it out when they get home and offer a stamped envelope to mail the survey back to us. Dissemination: This section will be the materials used to disseminate your project findings to the clinical agency.

Presentation overview of the problem, evidence, and proposed plan, results, and recommendation. The presentation should include:

a) Actual PowerPoint slides of effective communication of project.

b) 2-3 discussion questions prepared by students to pose to their audience to generate discuss about the project and potential for implementation

Intercultural Communication Paper

Intercultural Communication Paper

You will write a total of two papers responding to the week’s reading(s) throughout the course of the semester. These papers should reflect familiarity with the reading materials but should go beyond merely summarizing them, they are an opportunity for you to critically reflect on the readings, analyze the ideas, and connect these to real events. You may choose the topics/weeks that are most relevant to your interests and experiences. These papers are due on the Thursday (one week after) following the assigned reading materials.

Your content should include:

1. A brief summary of the content.

2. Your critical analysis of the material. For example, you can connect the content to a real event, a personal experience, or a situation you have observed. I want to see that you are able to link and apply the material.

3. What struck you most about the reading? Are there any concepts/ideas that stood out to you? Are there any ideas that were new to you? Do you agree or disagree with any of the content? Any of these questions that you choose to respond to (you can choose one or several) should also answer the “why” question.

Aaron Bell of AdRoll: The Truth May Hurt, but It Also HealsBy Adam BryantThis interview with Aaron Bell, C.E.O. of AdRoll, an online advertising placement firm, was conducted and condensed by Adam Bryant.Q. Tell me about your early years.A. I grew up near Seattle in Bellevue, and I was a precocious, nerdy kid drawn to computers at an early age. I started playing around with programs and creating my own games. Eventually my neighbor took notice of me. He had a software company, and they developed Christmas software, with screen savers and games.So I was a Jewish boy creating a Santa’s workshop and games where you fly reindeer around. I loved it. My dad would pick me up after middle school and drive me to work in Redmond nearby.In a bit of serendipity, Microsoft was two blocks down the street. And they were hungry for engineers, gobbling up talent whenever they could find it. They started pulling people from my neighbor’s company to work for Microsoft. And as more people left, I took on more responsibility at this software company. Pretty soon, I was leading the Christmas software project. I was 14 years old.As the people I worked with went to Microsoft, they then told the company about me, and suddenly I was interviewing at Microsoft when I was 16. They asked programming questions, but they also asked interview questions like “How do you know the light goes off in the refrigerator when you close the door?”Daily business updates The latest coverage of business, markets and the economy, sent by email each weekday. Get it sent to your inbox.I had a baby sister, so I said, “I would put my baby sister in the refrigerator and then pull her out and check the dilation of her eyes.” They said, “That’s morbid, but it’s pretty clever,” and they hired me.I spent about six years at Microsoft. I was able to work it out with my high school where classes would end at noon for me and then I’d go to Microsoft and try to stay within the labor laws for hours worked. During the summers, I would transition to intern and take advantage of those programs.

I did manage to spend some time with Bill Gates. Every summer he would have a barbecue for the interns. After being there for so many summers, I figured out the pattern. He would come out of his house and go right to the dinner line. So I would wait by the door, and when he came out, I’d get in the dinner line with him. That way, I’d get to sit next to him, too.Tell me about the culture of your company now.I have this overall philosophy that a company is like a human body, which builds up toxins over time. Every company has problems and issues that build up, and you need to find outlets for those things.I think a lot about how you come up with different practices in the company that are a kind of cleanse. So we do a weekly all-hands meeting, and it’s a weekly flush to get the toxins out.Before our all-hands meetings, I send out an email with a question-and-answer board and I encourage people to post their questions. You can vote up your favorite questions, and they’re anonymous.If you give someone a mask, they’ll tell you the truth. I also encourage people to post their fears, their uncertainties and doubts. And there’s a guarantee that any question that is asked will get answered or addressed by me, unless they are personal in nature about someone in particular.The alternative, if you don’t do that, is that you have people behind closed doors chatting about the company, gossiping, saying negative things.If you address everything, people feel much more trust. They feel like they know what’s happening. And they’re going to make better decisions because they know what’s going on.What else?After you’ve been at AdRoll for six months, you have to write a letter to yourself as a new employee about what you wish you had known and had been taught. Then we compile those, and new hires get a 100-page book of these letters. It encourages people to really help each other out.How do you hire? What questions do you ask?There’s no silver bullet question, but I usually advise my employees to ask themselves about the person they’re interviewing: “What is the No. 1 thing you’re worried about?

When you leave the interview, what are you going to be thinking about or wondering about?”Then I tell them to spend all their time drilling into that one area. Keep asking questions. It’s O.K. to prod during interviews.I also like to look at transitions between jobs, because that’s a time when someone kind of popped their head up and said, “This isn’t working for me.” Either they got fired or it was mutually not working or there is some other explanation, but I’ll try to get the real story of what happened.For a company at our stage of growth, I’d also say it’s really important to find people who are interested in building something great, rather than people who are interested in joining something great. So having people who care is a big thing.So how do you tell the drivers from the riders?In those transitions on their résumé, you can understand a lot of things. If they talk about problems at a previous company, then the question is, Were you part of the solution or are you just complaining about it?What career advice do you give to new college grads?I definitely suggest people work for early stage or midstage companies because you’re going to learn a lot more. I try to steer them away from larger companies. The company is going through more change at smaller companies, and you tend to be in a deeper end of the pool where things are going to get done. So it’s just more of an extension of college. There’s accelerated learning in that period.Each week, Adam Bryant talks with top executives about leadership.

  1. Aaron said that in his interview for a job with Microsoft he was asked this question: “How do you know the light goes off in the refrigerator when you close the door?” His answer is … creative. How might you answer this question?
  2. How was it Aaron was able to have lunch with Bill Gates? Is this an appropriate strategy or is it manipulative?
  3. Aaron says “If you give someone a mask, they’ll tell you the truth. ” What does he mean?
  4. How is Aaron’s management style different than that of Jimmy Dunne III, the subject of  the earlier Discussion Board?  Which management style do you prefer?
