- 4. Telehealth ▪ Virtual visits at home via telehealth monitoring has become mainstream ▪ Allows providers to effectively manage the number of those living with chronic conditions ▪ Effective solution to clinician shortages
- 5. Telehealth ▪ Provider logs in at a remote location ▪ Each client has a monitor within their homes with a camera ▪ Ability to perform rapid assessments, such as vital signs, EKGs, blood sugars, weights, and auscultation via an electronic stethoscope
- 6. Patient Portals ▪ Patients access their own patient portals ▪ Allows patients to document their own findings, such as blood pressures, glucose readings, immunization records, and medications. ▪ Portal is linked to their own medical records ▪ Allows patients to become involved in their own healthcare
- 7. Wearable Computing Devices ▪ Wearable computing devices such as Tractica will be used ▪ Tractica offers sensor-infused clothing ▪ Offers biometric information on heart rate, muscle activity, and respiratory rate (Gruessner, 2015).
- 8. Wearable Computing Devices ▪ Another example of a wearable computing device is WearSens ▪ WearSens is a technology that is comprised of a metal necklace that records everything you eat, drink, and smoke ▪ It has the ability to alert you when you are eating too much or too little ▪ Efficient tool for monitoring caloric intake, smoking cessation and patients with possible dysphagia issues (Engel, 2015).

- 10. Knowledge Management ▪ Telehealth knowledge management systems will play a key role in effectively managing patients at home with chronic conditions ▪ Evidence-based tools that offer rapid solutions for our patients will be necessary
- 11. Knowledge Management ▪ An example of an effective knowledge management tool is for managing those with Diabetes ▪ Knowledge management tools that are designed and embedded into the patient’s electronic medical record will allow clinicians to provide cost-efficient, evidence-based practice decisions that will result in the best possible outcome for those living with and managing their diabetes at home (Gervera & Graves, 2015).
- 12.
