Quality Improvement Method That Could Impact a Patient, Population

During the practicum hours, nurses and managers devised a range of solutions and planned strategies to positively impact the patient population and reduce the issue of increasing cases of African Americans’ hypertension. These challenges cannot be reduced by using the same traditional methods in the healthcare organization; which is why there is a dire need for adopting and implementing the telemedicine tools to offer better treatment to black Americans. The population our nurses are focusing of the black patients is between 22- 30 years. In the continuum of care, various stages are considered important including the screening and assessment of hypertension in black pateints increasing day by day. Hence, the foremost strategy is to offer a medication-based solution to HTN patients of colored races. In addition, the other good option is to provide behavioral therapies to black patients for enhancing their mental health and confidence in our staff (Ogunniyi, 2021). For example, the HTN condition of five pateints can be enhanced or improved within using the most important strategy called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Moreover, the use of Behavioral Activation Therapy (BAT) with CBT can also combine and work effectively to achieve better outcomes (Wagner, 2020). 

Besides, telemedicine tools can also help our nursing professionals to improve the methods of treatment delivery for black HTN patients’ recovery. They can use the post and pre-COVID telemedicine technologies including the most popular videoconferencing. Using this tool, the dissatisfaction of black patients can significantly reduce when they do not have to come to the hospital for psychotherapy and can avail the treatment from caring nurses and psychotherapists at remote location. These tools can include counseling using the phone, Skype, and web-based apps to solve the problem of pateints. Moreover, telemedicine is also popular for helping nurses and patients benefit from tools such as PCs, desktops, and tablets with smart phones. These telecom-based solutions can help the nurses and doctors to enhance communication with remote patients and reduce their functional impairments to provide better solutions to hypertension. Therefore, telemedicine tools can help pateints to find the best medications for the black HTN patients as well as reducing the substance abuse. The start of telehealth was in the 20th century; however, it is ever more popular today for the improvement of nursing care. 

Also, the nurses and managers also planned some synchronous treatment solutions which include real-time interactive nurse-to-client communication and remote collaboration. This does not mean that in the middle of remote communication, patients cannot collaborate with nurse’s face to face. The purpose of this strategy is to offer the affected pateints an ongoing care solution that can harness the power of telemedicine and telecom solutions with other technological devices and mechanisms/protocols (Omboni et al., 2022). 

Moreover, the use of asynchronous solutions by nurses is another viable strategy. This allows them to share the healthcare data onetime and analyze it later to manage HTN symptoms more effectively. This helps nurses for example to manage symptoms such as depression and anxiety in black patients and monitor their mental health using software and client education. For example, our hospital can utilize this strategy by using web-based portals including emails, mobile applications and other telemedicine tools such as video calls. However, none of these solutions which are viable and cost effective come without challenges and limitations. The biggest weakness of telehealth is that there are ample funds required by the hospital to train the nurses and professionals to treat pateints remotely and use devices and troubleshoot them when necessary. Hence, despite immense benefit of telehealth tools, many evidence-based studies show that these quickly accessible options can become a problem sometimes when not managed efficiently. Moreover, some pateints may feel emotionally detached with their counselors during telehealth sessions.

Interventions that would help drive quality improvement

Many evidence-based researches such as Suresh and Megaship and Patel (2022) also advocate for the use of telemedicine solutions for devising best intervention for black pateints of mental health in America. It is indeed the most viable
