Tele-health Technology

 POWERPOINT!!!!!

BACKGROUND: You are one member of a 3-4 member nursing IT team at the local community hospital. The hospital is located in a rural area with the closest Tier-1 hospital three hours away. In the past four years, there has been a noticeable increase in the incidence rate of young adults with asthma “attacks.” Nursing unit managers research the issue and determined that asthma patients readmitted within 30 days with asthma exacerbations occurred most noticeably during the winter months and on the weekends. Further investigation showed that additional potential factors to the asthma exacerbations appear to be brought on by the use of e-cigarette’s and hookah smoking, and for patients with allergies.
The nursing managers have expressed a desire to incorporate Tele health measures and phone applications with the purpose to educate the young adult populations about ways to control asthma outbreaks. The team has researched the literature and noted that Tele health was introduced at a facility with the purposes to care for and communicate with patients about asthma exacerbations signs and symptoms. The nursing IT team needs to present a PowerPoint presentation to nurse administration about the proposed plan.needs to include thorough answers to the following questions:

1. A summary of the key issues.
2. Discuss the implications the technology would have on health promotion (both positive and negative).
3. Identify the proposed tele-health technology. Research real solutions or propose a solution for technology that may not yet exist.
4. Describe a minimum of 5 key tasks needed to implement the proposed technology based on the system life-cycle.
5. What concerns might patients express about using the described technology? What policies might the IT team propose to address these concerns?
6. Discuss the usefulness of the proposed Tele health technology to increase patient education and to monitor for patient readmissions.
7. How would training for the proposed solution be conducted for patients and nursing staff?
8. What are potential issues with developing and sustaining a tele-health program?
9. Conclusion
