简要总结
The Veteran's Health Administration (VHA) is a national leader in using distance technology to monitor patients' self-care via an in-home messaging device with disease management protocols (DMPs). No such DMPs exist for the community dwelling spinal cord injury/disorders (SCI/D) population. Our objective is to develop the tools necessary for implementing a new home telehealth program to manage community-dwelling veterans with SCI/D at high risk of developing pressure ulcers (PrUs).
详细描述
Background:
VHA is a national leader in using distance technology to monitor patients' self-care via an in-home messaging device with disease management protocols (DMPs). No such DMPs exist for the community dwelling spinal cord injury/disorders (SCI/D) population. Our objective is to develop the tools necessary for implementing a new home telehealth program to manage community-dwelling veterans with SCI/D at high risk of developing pressure ulcers (PrUs).
Objectives:
The goal of the study was to complete activities necessary in preparation for implementing a Home Telehealth program to manage veterans with SCI/D at risk of developing PrUs. Specifically this Rapid Response Project (RRP) included: 1) Convening an expert panel to validate Pressure Ulcer (PrU) PrU DMP items; 2) Developing a standardized protocol that specified how the nurse Care Coordinator who would manage patients who develop open skin wounds across the Hub and Spoke system of care; 3) Assessing individual telehealth DMP items by calling a sample of patients on a daily or weekly basis for up to 2 months to determine their validity and 4) Developing an instrument to assess staff satisfaction with this method of patient management.
