As technologies and the health care industry continue to evolve, remote care, diagnosis, and collaboration are becoming increasingly more regular methods by which nurses are expected to work. Learning the ways in which evidence-based models and care can help remote work produce better outcomes will become critical for success. Additionally, understanding how to leverage EBP principles in collaboration will be important in the success of institutions delivering quality, safe, and cost-effective care. It could also lead to better job satisfaction for those engaging in remote collaboration
Remote care and diagnosis is a continuing and increasingly important method for nurses to help deliver care to patients to promote safety and enhance health outcomes. Understanding best EBPs and building competence in delivering nursing care to remote patients is a key competency for all nurses. Additionally, in some scenarios, while you may be delivering care in person you may be collaborating with a physician or other team members who are remote. Understanding the benefits and challenges of interdisciplinary collaboration is vital to developing effective communication strategies when coordinating care. So, being proficient at communicating and working with remote health care team members is also critical to delivering quality, evidence-base care. you will propose an evidence- based plan to improve the outcomes the patient in the provided case study below, and examine how remote collaboration provided benefits or challenges to designing and delivering the care. Before you complete the instructions detailed in the courseroom, first review the case study below. INTRODUCTION Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a serious condition in which the heart doesn’t pump blood as efficiently as it should. Providing evidence-based care for CHF can be challenging, especially when care is being provided remotely. In this case study, we will observe how healthcare professionals collaborate remotely and virtually to provide care for a patient with CHF. PATIENT INFORMATION The patient is a 65-year-old male diagnosed with congestive heart failure. He lives in a rural area and has limited access to specialized cardiac care. The patient has a history of hypertension and has been experiencing symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in the legs. COLLABORATION PROCESS The patient’s primary care physician, Dr. Johnson, collaborates remotely with a team of healthcare professionals, including a cardiologist, a nurse, and a pharmacist, to provide evidence-based care for CHF. • Dr. Johnson: “Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining this virtual meeting to discuss the care of our patient with congestive heart failure. Based on the patient’s symptoms and medical history, I believe he would benefit from a comprehensive treatment plan. I would like to hear your input and recommendations.” • Cardiologist: “Thank you, Dr. Johnson. I have reviewed the patient’s medical records and echocardiogram results. I agree that the patient has congestive heart failure and requires a comprehensive treatment plan. I recommend initiating medication therapy, including ACE inhibitors and diuretics, to manage his symptoms and improve cardiac function.” • Nurse: “I have been monitoring the patient’s vital signs remotely and have noticed fluctuations in blood pressure and weight. I suggest implementing a telemonitoring system to closely monitor the patient’s condition and provide timely interventions when Be sure you mention any articles, authors, and other relevant sources of evidence that helped inform your video. Discuss why these sources of evidence are credible and relevant. Important: You are required to submit an APA-formatted reference list of the sources you cited specifically in your video or used to inform your presentation. You are required to submit a narrative of all your video content to this assessment and to SafeAssign. The following media is an example learner submission in which the speaker successfully addresses all competencies in the assessment. Make sure that your video addresses the following grading criteria: Propose your own evidence-based care plan to improve the safety and outcomes for a patient in the provided case study. Explain the ways in which you used an EBP model to help develop your plan of care for the client. Reflect on which evidence you found in your search that was most relevant and useful when making decisions regarding your care plan. Identify benefits and strategies to mitigate the challenges of interdisciplinary collaboration to plan care within the context of a remote team. Communicate in a professional manner that is easily audible and uses proper grammar, including a reference list formatted in current APA style References: Cite at least three professional or scholarly sources of evidence to support the assertions you make in your video. Include additional properly cited references as necessary to support your statements. APA reference page: Submit a correctly formatted APA reference page that shows all the sources you used to create and deliver your video. Be sure to format the reference page according to current APA style. Submit a narrative of all of your video content.
