 Initial Response

Instructions:

Telehealth is an integral part of our healthcare system and becoming more prominent.  Being comfortable with multiple platforms is a must for the PMHNP.  Discuss the specific questions in your initial post: 

Part 1: Nurses, in general, are seeing telehealth increase. When might telehealth be preferred over an in-person medical visit and why? Name at least 4 such instances. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/treatment-tests-and-therapies/benefits-of-telemedicine

Part 2: As healthcare incorporates various mobile health applications, describe how mHealth (mobile health) is different from telehealth? How should we adjust healthcare due to mobile access by patients? 

Part 3: As a PMHNP, what clients would best be suited for telehealth visits, and which would you rule out from seeing in telehealth and require in-person and why? 

Responses need to address all components of the question, demonstrate critical thinking and analysis, and include peer-reviewed journal evidence to support the student’s position.
