Telehealth Essentials for Advanced Practice Nursing is a succinct, useful, and up-to-date resource for advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) students, instructors, and practitioners. It gives readers the knowledge and skills they need to embrace the rapidly developing field of telehealth and maximize its use in clinical settings.

Numerous health-care issues, including a lack of providers, managing chronic diseases, managing an aging population, preventing contagious diseases, and limiting access to care, can be uniquely addressed via telehealth. APRNs with telehealth expertise are in a unique position to lead the way in the future of health care, since telehealth is being integrated into healthcare and health care delivery at an ever-increasing rate. Readers will gain knowledge on how to use telehealth to deliver fresh and creative approaches to care by using Telehealth Essentials for Advanced Practice Nursing.

A multimodal approach to telehealth education is presented by authors Patty A. Schweickert and Carolyn M. Rutledge, which adds telehealth to nurses’ pre-existing understanding of nursing practice. The history and fundamentals of telehealth are covered in the first section of the book, followed by important information that providers need to know in order to make the most of telehealth in the healthcare setting. This information includes:
Early response technology for viral diseases like COVID-19
The procedure for incorporating telehealth into daily life
laws, guidelines, and directives controlling the practice of telehealth
implementation obstacles and methods for overcoming them
Etiquette and ethics in telehealth
Effective interprofessional collaboration through the use of telehealth
There are group activities, reflection questions, discussion topics, and case studies in every chapter. An instructor’s guidebook and a directory to telehealth resources are available for educators at www.efacultylounge.com.
