  • Telehealth/Telenursing for Registered Nurses 1
    Nursing Care Quality Assurance Commission PO BOX 47864 i Olympia Washington 98504-7864 Tel: 360-236-4725i Fax: 360-236-4738 Telehealth/Telenursing For Registered Nurses 1. Telephone triage and nursing consultation by telephone or other electronic technology, incorporates unique knowledge, skill and competencies. Nurses employ the full range of the nursing process to gather data, make assessments, and generate plans for care via telephone encounters with patients. 2. Protocols are appropriate tools for implementing treatment plans. A registered nurse may use a protocol that has been written and approved by a physician to initiate a standing order for a medication or treatment. Assuming an appropriate patient-prescriber relationship exists, authorized standing orders may be implemented without consulting an authorized prescriber for a particular patient. The registered nurse should implement only standing orders which include a target population, exclusions, the population served, contraindications, special considerations, a specific order, a description of who has the authority to implement the order, physician signature, and review and approval by nursing as well as other involved disciplines. 3. Practice guidelines and protocols for care should be developed based on scientific/empirical evidence and outcomes data or expert opinion. Methods for periodic review of these tools to evaluate care effectiveness and currency of information should be in place. 4. Practice guidelines should evolve through collaboration and professional consensus among all involved health care disciplines. 5. When functions of the nurse involve complex decision making, even when driven by algorithm and protocol, telenursing should be limited to the practice of registered nursing. Licensed practical nursing activities within this context may include information gathering and the provision of patient education.

  • Telehealth Laws State & Reimbursement Policies
    FALL 2019 FALL STATE TELEHEALTH LAWS & REIMBURSEMENT POLICIES A COMPREHENSIVE SCAN OF THE 50 STATES & THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA & THE DISTRICT OF THE 50 STATES SCAN A COMPREHENSIVE State Telehealth Laws and Medicaid Program Policies INTRODUCTION The Center for Connected Health Policy’s (CCHP) Fall 2019 release of the “State Telehealth Laws and Reimbursement Policies” report highlights the changes that have taken place in state telehealth policy. The report offers policymakers, health advocates, and other interested health care professionals a summary guide of telehealth-related policies, laws, and regulations for all 50 states and the District of Columbia. While this guide focuses primarily on Medicaid fee-for-service policies, information on managed care is noted in the report if it was available. The report also notes particular areas where we were unable to find information. Every effort was made to capture the most recent policy language in each state as of September 2019. Recently passed legislation and regulation have also been included in this version of the document with their effective date noted in the report (if applicable). This information also is available electronically in the form of an interactive map and search tool accessible on our website cchpca.org. Consistent with previous editions, the information will be updated biannually, as laws, regulations and administrative policies are constantly changing. TELEHEALTH POLICY TRENDS States continue to refine and expand their telehealth reimbursement policies though they are not treated across the board in the same manner as in-person delivered services. Limitations in regards to reimbursable modality, services and location of the patient continue to be seen.

  • SECTION THREE Nurse Educator Ehealth Resource
    SECTION THREE Nurse Educator eHealth Resource “Nurses need to be able to use information and communication technology not only to support their own practice, but also to help their patients make the best use of it” (Bond & Procter, 2009, p. 55). Section Three Information and Communication Technologies 46 SECTION THREE Nurse Educator eHealth Resource Purpose of this Section This section is intended to provide the user with an overview of information and communication technologies commonly used in clinical practice settings. At the end of this section, the user will be able to provide students with an introduction to the following: • Rationale for the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in health-care settings; • Types of ICT and clinical applications used in health-care settings; • Clinical information systems and the different types of electronic health record solutions used in health-care settings; • Telehealth and associated technologies for remote clinical care delivery; and • Use of clinical decision support tools to inform clinical decision- making and care activities. 47 SECTION THREE Nurse Educator eHealth Resource 3.0 Background At the time of this writing, nurses continue to retrieve and record clinical data and information in clinical practice using paper-based record keeping. In conjunction with these paper records a variety of online applications designed to replace paper tools have been introduced. A majority of clinical settings continue to use a combination of computerized and paper health records resulting in a highly varied distribution of electronic health record systems within and across sectors of care in Ontario and across Canada. Student nurses and clinical instructors will find variability between care settings and the availability and types of online clinical tools in use.
