Application of Technology, Care Coordination and Utilization of Community Resources
Technology can be applied in addressing the care needs of the stroke patients. As seen from this project, technologies such as telehealth are effective in enhancing the care outcomes such as quality, safety, efficiency and patient satisfaction with care. Care coordination can also be applied in addressing the problem. Nurses can coordinate inter-professional care to ensure the realization of optimum care outcomes of the patient and the family. Care coordination can also be used to enhance patient satisfaction and empowerment with care. Community resources can also be applied in addressing the problem. Community resources such as social support systems can be used to promote coping in the patient and his family with the functional changes due to stroke.
Conclusion
Overall, the proposed intervention for the project is the use of telehealth to provide coordinated care to the patient. Telehealth is appropriate, as it reduces costs of care and enhances care outcomes such as safety and quality. Board of nursing standards and government policies informed the development of the intervention. Therefore, an effective use of change management practices will be considered to achieve the optimum outcomes of the intervention.
