Step 1 Read the scenario.
You are a nurse in a congestive heart health clinic that includes a telehealth option to help clients manage congestive heart disease. Twelve volunteers who need help managing their congestive heart disease have been selected to trial this program at the clinic. A benchmark of a reduction of 80% remissions in a year is considered successful.
You have suggested the following program design and have volunteered to supervise the operation. This program will link each client with a nurse using a camera and will require the purchase of 15 tablet computers that include an Internet connection. Training will occur with each client. Each client will have a weekly scheduled connection time with a clinic nurse to review medication, diet, and activity compliance. Data collection will include daily recording and submission of weight, general physical description of edema, activity tolerance, and other topics of concern. Each week, based on input from the clients, a teaching tool will be presented to introduce or review management tips for congestive health disease.
Step 2 Analyze the scenario by focusing on technology.
Write your paper using the APA 7.0 formatting style. Cite any and all resources used to complete the assignment and be sure to include a reference list.
Discuss the following questions in your paper:
Describe the types and use of health technology in health promotion used in the scenario.
What other types of technology can be used?
Describe how telehealth could improve health literacy across the lifespan.
