Module 5 Discussion Example

Telehealth is a rapidly expanding healthcare delivery modality with increasing utility in the healthcare community. Telehealth education must be provided during the training of health care providers to ensure the proper usage and application of this health care delivery system. Much of the training that occurs regarding telehealth is vendor-driven. Training that is typically offered focuses on technical aspects of using telehealth equipment, legal issues, and reimbursement. Rarely does industry training involve soft skills or “screen side etiquette” unique to telehealth encounters. All of these aspects have to be considered when training healthcare staff to participate in a comprehensive telehealth program.

The implementation team should include providers, electronic health record (EHR) and information technology (IT) professionals, process improvement and ambulatory leadership, communications experts, and patient experience advocates. Training recommendations include: understanding evolving federal, state, and institutional guidelines, seeking additional necessary environment training and experiential learning on various modalities and platforms, creating an ideal virtual office space and testing the technology in advance, communicating with patients about the changes while also planning to accommodate their language, disability, technical, and literacy needs. Training should also include bringing a thoughtful webside manner to the visits and suggestions for obtaining additional assistance related to technology, specialty care, personal emotional health, or complex patient needs (Olayiwola et al., 2020).

The foundations of a successful telehealth program would be a course implemented to provide clinicians, healthcare teams, technologists, administrators, and superusers with a wide summary of telehealth. It would be crucial to implement a broad-based perspective of the system, telehealth terminology, technology, and security requirements, etiquette when using telehealth, awareness of public policies, identification and location of established resources in the field, and strategic and financial considerations for telehealth. Training should also include the technical, professional, regulatory, and financial considerations affecting the delivery of services. Employees also need to be educated on reimbursement restrictions and legislation affecting the use of telehealth. Healthcare members would need to be aware of policies, standards, and guidelines specific to telehealth administration.

Superusers should also be developed to assist with ongoing training needs and to train new staff. Superusers should also develop ongoing annual training for all system users. IT professionals should also be available to assist patients with access and use issues. The smartphone has made home access to telehealth services readily available. Most programs that are utilized by healthcare providers today have an available app for the end user at home. Some issues that could affect the home user are the lack of available internet or Wi-Fi connections and the lack of available smartphones, computers, or tablets.
