Summary
The University of the Philippines College of Nursing curriculum needs updating to meet global healthcare standards. Telehealth integration, using information and communication technology (ICT), offers a solution for remote patient care and triage by nurses.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Health Informatics
- Telehealth
Background:
- The University of the Philippines College of Nursing curriculum has historically influenced nursing education nationwide.
- Current global healthcare demands necessitate an evolution beyond traditional nursing education models.
- Geographically isolated areas face significant challenges in accessing healthcare services.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the adequacy of the existing nursing curriculum in the context of modern global healthcare.
- To explore the role of Telehealth as an innovative healthcare delivery medium.
- To examine the potential of nurses in providing remote care and triage services via Telehealth.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of the current nursing curriculum against global healthcare standards.
- Review of Telehealth implementation strategies for healthcare access.
- Examination of nursing roles in electronic communication and patient triage.
Main Results:
- The current nursing curriculum is identified as insufficient for contemporary global healthcare needs.
- Telehealth, leveraging Information and Communication Technology (ICT), emerges as a viable alternative for healthcare delivery.
- Nurses are positioned to provide essential care and triage services through electronic media in remote settings.
Conclusions:
- A curriculum revision is crucial to align nursing education with current global healthcare practices.
- Telehealth presents a significant opportunity to bridge healthcare gaps in underserved and remote populations.
- Nurses play a pivotal role in the successful implementation and delivery of Telehealth services.

01:30Current Trends in Nursing II
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
01:15Nursing Implementation
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

01:10Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis
The nurse documents nursing diagnoses and enters them into the patient record. The identified patient's nursing diagnosis is either written out with a plan of care or entered into the electronic health record.
In some settings, data-driven computerized decision support systems are in place, allowing for more accurate nursing diagnoses. The database within one of these systems includes diagnostic labels defining characteristics, activities, and indicators for nursing. A nurse enters assessment...
