NURS FPX 6214 Assessment 4 Staff Training Session
The staff training session will include essential aspects that need to be managed for the effective implementation of new telehealth technology, such as:
- The staff training session will include essential aspects that need to be managed for the effective implementation of new telehealth technology, such as:
- Whether the training session is aligned with proposed technology requirements and if it follows safety guidelines as outlined within the Health Insurance Portability and Affordability Act (HIPAA).
- If the training knowledge matches the skill levels of all staff members, including nurses, physicians, and technical staff. These groups may have various degrees of technical expertise and require different training sessions.
- Acknowledging that the training platform is as critical as the educational and technical requirements. Several training platforms, in-house and online, can complement the specific training needs. The training platform will be selected depending on organizational resources and the financial budget.
- Ensuring that the post-training assessment will also be organized to analyze the effectiveness of the training session.
- Additionally, ensuring that follow-up training sessions will be arranged as they are vital to assess prior training and improve the staff’s technical skills.
- Lastly, training knowledge will provide opportunities for developing skills in areas other than healthcare, like technical abilities and system evaluation techniques
Purpose of New Telehealth Technology
The new integrated patient portal software will provide our patients with online medical data and make the sharing and exchanging the data accessible. The use of patient portal software has facilitated nurses and physicians to quickly access patient data, enabling them to provide patients with faster healthcare assistance. In addition, quality assessments for medical facilities in the healthcare organization are possible through analytical teams, which assure safe patient care (Grossman et al., 2019).
The purpose of proposing the telehealth technology within the EMR system includes:
- Entering and extracting required data in a more organized and timely manner will improve treatment assessments.
- The availability of safer, up-to-date, and accurate patient data in multiple software applications and devices.
- Quicker access to healthcare records and patients’ personal information for improved medical care.
- Safe and reliable sharing and exchanging of information among multiple healthcare organizations.
- The portal allows physicians and pharmacists to prescribe proper medication and deliver safer treatment.
- Provides patient data privacy and safeguards critical healthcare information from misuse and potential hackers.
Use of New Telehealth Technology
The new patient portal is a digitalized patient management system that provides medical and treatment data for patients and contains their history. This telehealth technology will be used for effective communication among patients, nurses, physicians, and other healthcare organizations through one platform. In addition, the integrated software is used for collaborative and coordinated treatment strategies and improved medical interventions (Crossen et al., 2020).
The integrated telehealth technology system will be used to:
- Arrange online appointments and schedule check-ups.
- Organize healthcare data processes and analyze any necessary improvements.
- Track patient data and adjust treatment schedules according to their severity.
- Identify critical patients to prioritize their screening and routine check-ups.
- Keep track of the patient’s medical history and lab reports.
- Assess daily progress post personalized interventions through healthcare applications.
Downsides to Telehealth Technology
Patient portal software is an advanced system that utilizes cloud-based data for charting in the healthcare information system. Certain aspects of patient data that are constantly accessed could be compromised, creating challenges regarding data safety, immediate responses, and privacy concerns.
There are various downsides to the use of integrated telehealth technology, such as:
- The integrated system is costly its effects on the healthcare organization’s budget need to be monitored closely
- Handling the patient portal and integrating the billing processes will be an extra effort that engages the managers, technical staff, and account department.
- Patient dat
