“…Five of the studies described short continuing education programs 3 – 7 and only six described formal university programs 8 – 13 with three being with nurse practitioners. 9 , 11 , 12 Compared to other aspects of telehealth research (i.e., feasibility, effectiveness, economics, and satisfaction), literature related to education and training in telehealth has remained scant. 14 This may be due to many providers being unacquainted with telehealth or perhaps a lack of interest in the field, secondary to this limited experience.…”

Telehealth is becoming a vital process for providing access to cost-effective quality care to patients at a distance. As such, it is important for nurse practitioners, often the primary providers for rural and disadvantaged populations, to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to utilize telehealth technologies in practice. In reviewing the literature, very little information was found on programs that addressed nurse practitioner training in telehealth. This article provides an overview of both the topics and the techniques that have been utilized for training nurse practitioners and nurse practitioner students in the delivery of care utilizing telehealth. Specifically, this article focuses on topics including 1) defining telehealth, 2) telehealth etiquette, 3) interprofessional collaboration, 4) regulations, 5) reimbursement, 6) security/Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), 7) ethical practice in telehealth, and 8) satisfaction of patients and providers. A multimodal approach based on a review of the literature is presented for providing the training: 1) didactics, 2) simulations including standardized patient encounters, 3) practice immersions, and 4) telehealth projects. Studies found that training using the multimodal approach allowed the students to develop comfort, knowledge, and skills needed to embrace the utilization of telehealth in health care.

“…With the advancement of technology, nursing use of social media for healthcare education has become present with protocols, activities, and resources [37][38][39]. Rutledge et al designed a tool on social media for Doctor of Nursing Practice program students in rural health care [40]. Another survey-based study among first year nursing students demonstrated that 81% of students felt Twitter1 was beneficial in increasing awareness of nursing issues [41].…”
