Healthcare Policy: Article Review
One of the positives to emerge from the pandemic is that it expanded awareness of the possibilities of digital healthcare to provide critical care delivery. Many providers shifted to digital care to reduce the risk of disease, according to Subramanyam (2022), but there must be substantial policy shifts on the part of organizations to make this a reality. As well as meeting medical providers through telehealth meetings, there is also the possibility of artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor patients vital signs, as well as providers offering virtual psychological therapy as well as a physical diagnosis (Subramanyam, 2022). A favorable IT policy environment, according to the author, also means training people and facilitating patient information-sharing.
On the government policy level, there needs to be uniform policies in terms of how data is stored and recorded, to maximize the value of telehealth and digital sharing, as well as to protect patient privacy. The goal is to integrate data systems, aggregate the data, and then to analyze it to not only provide care but to generate insights to facilitate future, better care for patients (Subramanyam, 2022). But there must likewise be increased controls to reduce fears about data piracy, given a number of many highly publicized data breaches of healthcare information. The evolution of data speed in the form of 5G will also substantially facilitate acceptance and integration, but also the widespread accessibility...…be effective, for many types of conditions and examinations, telehealth and virtual medicine is not a replacement for a hands-on relationship between provider and patient. Getting a sense of a patients mental state and the warmth and rapport of a personal relationship still has facets that cannot always be adequately replaced on a screen.
On the other hand, the ease of connection may mean that some patients with difficult schedules, in remote locations, or who have severe mobility or social phobias, may see a physician more rather than less frequently, if a virtual option is offered. Virtual medicine may not be optimal in all instances, but it is an important part in improving public health, and should be supported…

Nursing Informatics Project: Telehealth SystemPart 2ImplementationA: The Need for TrackingThis second part largely concerns itself with the tracking of project progress. It is important to note that this is a crucial undertaking in as far as the successful implementation of the project is concerned. Gunduz and Almuajebh (2020) make an observation to the effect that project tracking ought to be perceived as �the process of monitoring and measuring the progress
Nursing Informatics Project: Telehealth SystemPart 1IntroductionIn basic terms, nursing informatics, as the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society � HIMSS (2021) indicates, could be conceptualized as a �specialty that integrates nursing science with multiple information and analytical sciences to identify, define, manage, and communicate data, information, knowledge and wisdom in nursing practice.� Houston (2017) indicates that nursing informatics is of great relevance in efforts to improve or further enhance care
Reducing Nursing Turnover by Implementing Innovative E-Health: A New Strategy for Incentivizing Nurses and Improving Organizational Culture Problem Identification: Nursing turnover rates are a serious issue for hospitals: they are costly and result in lost time and energy in continuously training new staff (Twibell, 2012). Identifying the main reasons for nursing turnover and addressing them can lead to better nurse retention (Trivellas, Gerogiannis, Svarna, 2013). The problem of nurse retention has been identified
Healthcare Informatics: Tele-health technologies 1) Tele-health technologies represent a sub-division of healthcare information technology which aid in delivering long-distance health education, public health, clinical care, health administration and relevant information. They encompass hardware as well as software and enhance general system efficacy through the maximization of individual practitioner productivity and elimination of geographical care obstacles. Perhaps the most ideal use of tele-health technology is real-time interactions, where patients and practitioners located
