Proposal to Add Telehealth
Overview
Explore
the broad scope of IT uses for a health care provider to promote access
to care, reduce costs, and improve outcomes of care. Develop a
PowerPoint proposal to recommend the implementation of a telehealth
program to improve the organization’s outreach and add value to their
services. Use the resources available in this course to help with
strategic planning, budgeting, and systems implementation.
Requirements
What is telehealth?
Describe the various types and uses of telehealth.
Select a type of telehealth outreach to recommend for development to your provider.
How
can your health care provider use a telehealth system? (Examples of
uses include: reaching remote locations—rural, international consulting;
reduce/prevent rehospitalizations by increasing the number of patient
contacts and triaging patients; urgent care center visits; physician
practices with virtual visits, etc.)
Explain the benefits of the
telehealth system that you select and the type of outreach it will
offer, including the pros and cons.
Develop a general budget (include
three line items: system software cost, implementation cost, and
training costs) for the system.
How much will it cost to implement, train staff, and maintain the system? Justify your estimation.
Develop a cost/benefit analysis.
How can you justify spending on this telehealth system?
How will telehealth save money, improve access, or improve quality for your health care provider and/or the patients who use it?
Find another health care provider that has successfully implemented a telehealth system.
What can you learn from their implementation or use that can help with implementing your system?
Make
a recommendation specific to your provider and provide an overview of
the implementation plan/approach, based on your facility size, staff,
services offered, and needs.

Implementing a Health IT System
Write a 3–5 page paper in which you:
Select a health care setting within which to implement an electronic medical record product. Be as specific as possible.
Examples
of health care delivery settings are as follows: a small community
hospital, a rural primary care clinic, a home health agency, a medical
unit within a correctional facility, a large multi-facility urban
hospital system, or a specialty physician’s office such as oncology or
endocrinology.
Consider choosing a setting that you currently work in or would like to work in later on in your career.
Describe
this health care setting, the patient population it serves, the volume
of patients that it serves, the needs of the setting, etc.
Identify a health care Information System to meet the needs of this facility.
Provide details regarding whether there is a vendor who offers such a system or whether a custom solution needed.
Include the all necessary elements in the proposal:
Capabilities of the system.
How the system aligns with the needs of the health care facility.
Initial and maintenance costs of the system.
Staff needs to support the system.
The timeline and plan for implementation of the system.
The strategy for introducing staff to the system.
How to get buy-in and cooperation.
How to provide training.
How privacy, security, and confidentiality will be maintained.
Identify 3–5 potential barriers in implementing the system and describe how you would work around those barriers.
