Thesis Overview

The project titled "Exploring the Impact of Telehealth on Patient Care in Home Health Nursing" aims to investigate the effects of telehealth on patient care within the context of home health nursing. Telehealth, which involves the use of technology to deliver healthcare remotely, has been increasingly utilized in various healthcare settings to enhance access to care, improve patient outcomes, and increase efficiency in healthcare delivery. In the realm of home health nursing, telehealth holds significant potential to transform the way care is provided to patients in their homes. This research will delve into the specific ways in which telehealth interventions influence patient care in the home health nursing setting. By examining the experiences of both patients and healthcare providers, the study seeks to identify the benefits and challenges associated with the integration of telehealth technologies in delivering care to patients at home. The project will also explore how telehealth impacts communication between patients and healthcare providers, care coordination, patient satisfaction, and overall health outcomes. Furthermore, the research will investigate the barriers and limitations that may hinder the successful implementation of telehealth in home health nursing, such as technological issues, privacy concerns, and regulatory challenges. By understanding these obstacles, the study aims to provide insights into how to overcome them and optimize the use of telehealth technologies in enhancing patient care. Overall, this project seeks to contribute valuable knowledge to the field of home health nursing by shedding light on the impact of telehealth on patient care. The findings of this research have the potential to inform healthcare policies, guide clinical practice, and ultimately improve the quality of care provided to patients in their homes.
