Remote Collaboration and Evidence-Based Care

NURS FPX 4030 Assessment 4: Remote Collaboration and Evidence-Based Care

For any action throughout the whole telemedicine system, the patient has access to a quick support key by their side. The detrimental consequences of cystic fibrosis have been demonstrated to be lessened by the monitoring system. Due to this, nurses and medical staff easily track the patient’s rehabilitation. Parents of patients are not required to visit the hospital, which reduces the need for unwanted hospital stays and cuts healthcare costs(Jensen et al., 2019).

However, the technology enables healthcare professionals to communicate through virtual meetings from their homes and it greatly lessens their stress and anxiety.  Therefore, video calls and healthcare information technology lessened challenges by making it easier to identify a variety of problems (Rubinger et al., 2020).

Evidence-Based Practice Model

I will now talk about using the EBP model to create a treatment strategy. I will also examine the advantages of making sound evidence-based decisions. To support the adoption of evidence-based practice, healthcare providers have created a range of evidence-based practice models. A model for dealing with medical issues, like cystic fibrosis, is the Johns Hopkins evidence-based model. As it tackles medical decisions by utilizing all pertinent problem-solving techniques. Due to its benefits,  it is a well-liked model among experts (Adams, 2022). The concept has been altered to meet the EBP requirements of the patient care nursing personnel. These concepts operate as organizing principles for optimal cystic fibrosis patient quality care by leveraging the most current findings. The Johns Hopkins EBP model is a process for deciding on medical care that comes with easy-to-use tools to help individuals through it (Martinez et al., 2018).

According to Tsistinas, (2020), the first step in the John Hopkins Model is the recruitment of an interprofessional team. In this plan, the interprofessional team will consist of Dr. Erica Copeland, Rebecca Helgo, and Virginia Anderson. The second step in the model is defining the problem. In the plan, when Dr. Copland will assemble a medical expert panel, Caitlynn will be diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. The third step in the model is a development of an evidence-based question for the identified problem. In this plan when the professionals will discuss that Caitlynn resides in McHenry, they will think that telemedicine is the most helpful strategy for regularly monitoring Caitlyn’s health. The fourth step in the model is the identification of people or groups of people who have an interest in the proposed activity. In this plan, doctors, therapists, nurses, and Caitlyn’s parents will be included. To identify the responsibility of the project, is the the fifth step in this regard. In the plan, all involved persons will be collectively responsible to monitor  Caitlyn’s health. The last step in the model is to schedule time meetings. In the plan, a teleconferencing approach will greatly help doctors, nurses, therapists, and parents of Caitlyn to monitor her properly and on time. As parents can keep an eye on their daughter’s health at their own house via Skype and online meetings, this treatment plan model will also aid in decreasing family stress.

The John Hopkins technique makes sure that EBP initiatives are accomplished and that employees’ time and hospital resources are managed to their maximum potential while also assisting practitioners in incorporating important research results. Since the EBP framework found videoconferencing as a result of a thorough study that decreased patient visits without increasing the workload for nurses, this strategy will be acknowledged. The EBP concept helped people better recognize the value of such treatments in avoiding future health problems. Caitlynn may also experience fear and other challenges that could impede her recovery. The use of telemedicine assistance is used to handle the problem as the utilization of digital medical services increased during COVID-19, and greatly improves the standard of patient treatment. Patient experience with their well-being also grew as a result of telehealth (Marwitz, 2020).

Most Relevant Evidence

The distance between Caitlyn’s house and the hospital is the most pertinent argument in favor of telemedicine. Since Caitlynn has cystic fibrosis, she needs to be constantly monitored, which is not practically possible. She also had breathing problems, so the nurse and the physician may use telemonitoring to assess Caitlynn’s status and determine whether or not she has to go to the hospital. The doctors can also instruct her parents to carefully evaluate Caitlynn’s condition with the use of videoconferencing. To schedule an appointment with the physician for their daughter’s examination, the parents can also use Google Calendar (Tan et al., 2021).

Strategies to Mitigate the Challenges of Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Toward the end, I’ll describe the methods to make multidisciplinary collaboration less challenging. We had already discussed many advantages of the treatment plan. The plan supports efficient care management and protects against various side effects. The loss of patient data, the failure to establish a reliable connection, and the demand for certification are potential obstacles to the use of the telemonitoring system. Numerous strategies can be used to overcome such hurdles. One of the strategies is using a password-protected teleconference program. Second is the use of high-speed internet to maintain a connection with doctors on Skype without facing any connection problems. Third, the Google calendar option can be used to take appointments from doctors’ packed schedules. These techniques can help to protect patient data. Additionally, the Skype consultation will be helpful because it will lessen the burden on the parents. Using a Google calendar to plan will help to recall when the consultation is scheduled (Paterson et al., 2020).

Conclusion

It must be highlighted that distant collaboration is now more important than ever. Healthcare providers work together remotely to treat conditions like cystic fibrosis. The John Hopkins EBP model can be used to create an efficient treatment plan to achieve targeted outcomes.References
