“…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 15,16. One study found that 77% of faculty surveyed identified a need for training in telehealth 15.…”

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.

Background To explore attitudes to telehealth education and experiences incorporating telehealth education into entry‐to‐practice physiotherapy programs in Australia, from the perspective of university educators. Methods Qualitative design based on a constructivist paradigm and a phenomenological approach. Sixteen university educators (who had a responsibility for telehealth curriculum or oversight of the broader curriculum in an entry‐to‐practice physiotherapy programme at an Australian university) were recruited. Individual semi‐structured interviews were conducted via Zoom. Interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analysed thematically using an inductive approach. Results Three themes (with associated subthemes) were identified: (i) telehealth education has a role in contemporary physiotherapy practice (COVID‐19 pandemic was a driver for telehealth education, acknowledgement that telehealth is here to stay and identified areas of focus for telehealth education and training); (ii) telehealth education and training vary substantially (content delivered and assessment of telehealth competency is ad hoc and student exposure to telehealth on clinical placements is inconsistent); (iii) challenges in telehealth education (finding space and time in the curriculum, as well as insufficient knowledge and expertise of staff, are challenges for implementation of telehealth education, however, course and subject development and/or reviews provide opportunities for implementing telehealth education and training). Conclusion Current content and volume of telehealth education and training in entry‐to‐practice physiotherapy programs across Australia varies substantially. Although educators believe telehealth is an important component of contemporary physiotherapy practice, many barriers exist for including telehealth training into the curriculum.

Asthma academy: A student nurse‐led telehealth education program for low‐income family caregivers of children with asthma

Asthma is the most common long-term illness in children in the UnitedStates that affects 8.5% of all children (Miller et al., 2016). According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, asthma represented the most common and most expensive reason for potentially preventable hospital stays in children in 2017, with 53,900 hospital stays and $278.1 million in aggregate costs (McDermott & Jiang, 2020). Asthma is associated with high Emergency Department (ED) and Urgent Care Clinic (UCC) utilization in children-almost twice as many compared to adults (Pate et al., 2021). Research hasshown that avoidable ED visits for acute asthma are prevalent in children, which contributes to a heavy cost burden of paediatric asthma on governments, healthcare systems, and on patients and families (Beydon et al., 2016).Health disparities are an important factor to consider in paediatric asthma. Paediatric asthma is more prevalent among children from low-income families and among non-Hispanic Black children and those of Puerto Rican descent when compared to non-Hispanic White children (Zahran et al., 2018). Furthermore, health disparities are implicated in asthma-related ED visits and eventual hospitalizations. In low-income families, Black children were less likely to be
