Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Telemedicine use in nursing homes faced barriers like poor internet and tech issues, despite recognized benefits. Addressing these structural and personal challenges is key to wider adoption for better resident communication.
Area Of Science
- Gerontology
- Health Informatics
- Telemedicine
Context
- Nursing homes sought to maintain communication during COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
- The HLTeleheim project provided telemedical support options to long-term care facilities.
- Implementation of these services varied significantly across facilities.
Purpose
- To identify factors influencing the adoption and implementation of telemedical applications in long-term care settings.
- To understand the barriers and facilitators for using telemedicine in nursing homes.
Summary
- Qualitative interviews with 17 healthcare professionals revealed mixed acceptance of telemedicine.
- Key barriers included technical (internet connectivity, compatibility) and organizational issues.
- Nurses perceived regular telemedicine use as less important, and consultations were primarily used for internal team communication.
Impact
- Despite recognized advantages, telemedicine adoption in nursing homes remains limited.
- Addressing structural barriers (internet, billing) and personal hurdles (tech affinity, knowledge) is crucial.
- Tailoring software to the nursing profession and highlighting individual benefits can promote greater use.

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
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.
The first step is reassessing the client, a continuous process every time a nurse interacts with a patient, obtains new data,...
The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
