The objective of the 威斯康辛大学奥什科什 proposal is to develop and integrate curriculum to educate current and future nurses on the use of telehealth to improve rural chronic illness outcomes.
Telehealth lets a health care provider care for someone without an in-person office visit. Telehealth is done primarily online with internet access on a computer, tablet or smartphone.
A sustainable and shareable telehealth education infrastructure will link 最新出的网赌网址大全 faculty and student resources with the resources of ThedaCare, a leading provider of rural health services in northeastern Wisconsin.
The model will be piloted this summer and implemented in fall at ThedaCare post-acute homecare services in Berlin, 新伦敦, Shawano, 沃帕卡和野玫瑰. The model will be replicated at other Wisconsin locations during 2025 and used to serve populations experiencing rural access barriers.
Program findings will be disseminated to other regions of Wisconsin and the nation, placing Wisconsin as a leader in innovative nursing telehealth education for rural communities.
善允钟, 护理学院院长, said rural Wisconsinites have an increased risk for adverse health outcomes compared to their urban counterparts. More than one in four Wisconsin residents living in rural areas experience a shortage of primary care providers.
“We’re addressing a missed opportunity for this project, which will guide our current and future nursing workforce to play a greater role in supporting rurally located patients with chronic illness with the use of telehealth,”她说。, adding that students will learn about telehealth both in theory and in practice, and be out in communities helping with its adoption and use.
最新出的网赌网址大全 Chancellor Andrew Leavitt expressed gratitude for the grant support.
“It launches an initiative that is truly a win-win-win,” he said. “It ultimately will be responsive to rural Wisconsinites who deserve the highest-quality, most responsive health care available. It provides 最新出的网赌网址大全 nursing students high-impact learning opportunities to leverage technology, 更好地服务那些居民和, 在这个过程中, develop new knowledge and skill for durable careers.”
Leavitt added that the initiative connects faculty and learners with ThedaCare—an organization focused on extending and strengthening quality health care to rural communities—and 最新出的网赌网址大全 is “proud and excited to champion this effort.”
