Care Coordination.

 

To prepare for this Discussion: • Review this week’s Resources. Select one media piece and one article on the patient-centered medical home or on telehealth. • Reflect on the use of a patient-centered medical home model or a telehealth system. • Consider two or more of the following: features, benefits, barriers, clinical outcomes, operational efficiencies, and health care costs related to the use of a patient-centered medical home or a telehealth system. • Consider the impact of patient-centered medical home models and telehealth systems on care coordination and your role as a nurse. Post the following: • Choose a telehealth system or the patient-centered medical home as described by the media piece you selected. • Explain the impact of your choice (telehealth or patient-centered medical home) on patient care coordination. • Determine how this model of care can increase patients’ engagement in their care. Care Coordination.• Explain the potential impact of your choice on the role of the nurse as care is provided across settings and across state lines.

this case, the system reduces the number of visits that patients make to medical facilities. To be more precise, it ensure that unplanned visits are addressed by the telehealth system so that only planned visits are made to medical facilities. The result is better care planning and utilization patterns (McKissick et al., 2017). Besides that, the system improves ratings for care providers, communication, and overall health care (Looman et al, 2015).Care Coordination.

  • Determine how this model of care can increase patients’ engagement in their care.

The identified system can improve patients’ engagement from three perspectives. The first perspective is the cognitive domain whereby the system changes how patients think about medical care, understanding that unscheduled visits can be conducted using the system while scheduled visits should be conducted in medical facilities. The second perspective is emotional domain whereby the system gives patients peace of mind by offering them a convenient care option that addresses their routine care needs in a location easily accessible to them in terms of time and cost. The final perspective is behavioral dimension that increases patients’ contact with medical facilities by presenting a system that addresses medical conditions they consider minor and that they could have ignored otherwise (Barello et al., 2015).Care Coordination.

  • Explain the potential impact of your choice on the role of the nurse as care is provided across settings and across state lines.

The telehealth system has an influence on the role of nurses as care providers. The system has added to the nurses’ responsibilities by manage and administer the technology associated with telehealth. To be more precise, the system will present a new category of nurses responsibilities focused on the technological needs of medicine. For that matter, it adds functions and departments associated with the technology (Grain & Schaper, 2013).Care Coordination.
