Description of a transitions of care and telemedicine simulation lab activity

Evaluation of a Rubric to Assess Pharmacy Student Performance in a Telehealth Simulation Exercise

“…7 While descriptions of telehealth simulation activities have been published, a method to evaluate telehealth etiquette skills that can be used among varying evaluator types is not available. 8,10,12,14 Candelario and colleagues described a telemedicine simulation where pharmacy students worked in a group to identify medicationrelated problems (MRPs) incorporated into a discharge follow-up encounter. Standardized patients completed a patient perception scale checklist to assess communication skills.…”

“…Less than half of the student teams performed communication skills for this activity accurately and completely. 8 Although methods to assess student performance in a telehealth simulation were discussed, this study focused more on transitions of care concepts and did not mention assessment of telehealth etiquette skills for the activity. Gustin and colleagues presented a study which described a training program developed to teach health care students telehealth etiquette skills.…”

“…7 Literature published on telehealth and pharmacy students describes simulation activities and student perceptions on how a virtual environment affects understanding, confidence, communication, and abilities in interprofessional collaboration. [8][9][10][11][12] Student performance scores on virtual skills-based assessments compared to in-person have also been published, but a method for evaluating competency of skills performed in a telehealth activity that can be used among different evaluator types is not currently available. [12][13][14] Telehealth etiquette refers to unique behaviors outside of typical professional actions that are used to conduct an effective telehealth visit.…”

A Module in Medication Safety Involving Remote Access and Review of Veterans’ Health Records

“…Previous literature in pharmacy, medical, and nursing education described the use of training EHR platforms with standardized or simulated patients. 7,[11][12][13][14] Our unique model uses remote access to a health system's live EHR and real patient data. As such, it is essential to ensure Board of Pharmacy requirements for supervision are met.…”

Telehealth and technological applications in patient‐centered care: Implications for pharmacy learners and clinical pharmacists

“…Telehealth can also be used to minimize patients' vulnerability to complications during transitions of care (ToC). Pharmacy faculty at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science trained their students on using telehealth during ToC via a telemedicine simulation laboratory activity 58 . The simulation activity consisted of students providing a bedside consultation followed by a 15‐minute follow‐up telemedicine encounter.…”
