Telehealth: An Introduction to Virtual Care for Home Care Clinicians

Course overview

As virtual care moves into new settings within the health care industry, it is important that clinicians know how to effectively identify when a patient can benefit from telehealth and how to translate in-person care to a virtual environment. To ensure a positive experience for the patient, the clinician will need to leverage a different skill set for effective assessments and interventions. The clinician will also need to feel comfortable in resolving technology issues and setting up a workspace conducive to HIPAA-compliant virtual visits. The goals of this course are to recognize when home health patients can benefit from a blended model of care with telehealth and to understand how to provide best-practice care when translating in-person care to virtual visits.
