Telehealth: Incorporating Interprofessional Practice for Healthcare Professionals in the 21st Century
At a time when telehealth is being used more widely than ever before, this new book from Kimberly Noel meets an urgent need for evidence around optimal telehealth training to support interprofessional practice.
This book will be invaluable to all healthcare professionals who would like to incorporate telehealth into interprofessional education and practice. It discusses the role of social determinants of health, health literacy and aspects of health informatics in practice, and illustrates telehealth in different healthcare professions. Simply written and easy to follow, it takes the reader through what they need to know about telehealth, interprofessional telehealth competencies, virtual healthcare, teaching telehealth and virtual clinical examination skills

Sustaining Telehealth Success:
Integration Imperatives and Best
Practices for Advancing Telehealth
in Academic Health Systems
"The shift to virtual care creates enormous opportunity. Some Academic Medical Centers (AMCs) will lead, and others will become sorely challenged. All will be forced to confront nontraditional competitors. The future market for virtual care will not be geographically bound. Indeed, as highlighted in this report, AMCs have successfully developed virtual second opinion, virtual consult, RPM, and virtual visit programs that are national (and in some cases international) in scope and ambition. AMCs that seize the opportunity will use telehealth to achieve regional and national scale and will compete on this basis for services that can be delivered at a distance"

Telehealth Competencies Across the Learning Continuum
"Health care is changing rapidly. New technologies, advances in care delivery, and scientifc discoveries are happening at rates that make it challenging for teaching and learning practices across the continuum to keep up. Whether learners are at the beginning of their career or seasoned clinicians, new demands and advances in health care require them to acquire new competencies."

Inclusive Innovation in Telehealth
"As healthcare evolves toward promoting telehealth and patient-centered care, leaders must embrace persons with disabilities and caregivers as valued partners in design and implementation, not as passive “end-users”. We call for a new era of inclusive innovation, a term proposed in this publication to describe accessible technological design for all."
