Telehealth technology | Nursing homework help

Interoperability between telehealth technology, mobile health devices, and the patient’s electronic health record is needed to enhance communication, workflows, and efficiency. Healthcare providers who use telehealth should be able to link to clinical information systems (Nelson & Staggers, 2018). As a result, new telehealth competencies are required and the national consortium of telehealth resource centers are filling that gap. In addition, frameworks and guidelines for telehealth competencies have been outlined by the American Nurses Association and other organizations.
