How Proposed Intervention Will Enhance Quality of Care Quality of Care and Patient Safety
How monitoring and recording blood pressure can reduce the cost of the hospital and improve patient care outcomes is a vital challenge. However, the good news is that using the telehealth tools proposed above and discussed will help the patient to improve his self-management of hypertension and allow nurses to monitor blood pressure remotely. The technologies will help nurses to keep an eye on critical patients of hypertension, hence, evaluating their conditions without getting tired or feeling burnout (Doremus, 2019). Moreover, helping patients to rest comfortably on beds and pillows can improve their muscular tension and reduce stress. Giving medications to hypertension patients accurately using the EHR records will allow nurses to improve the quality of work and raise chances of better management and treatment of this menacing psychological disease. Since patients of hypertension are not often insured and they are poor, helping them get insurance can significantly reduce healthcare expenses and reduce re-admissions cost (Chatterjee, 2020). Moreover, the surgery price of heart attack and stroke drugs also reduce if patients recover soon. Patients can purchase health insurance for $500 and these costs can be greater for households.
How Technology, Care Coordination, and Community Resources Can Address Hypertension
Physicians and researchers have been focused on using hypertension management strategies through patient empowerment. The adoption of the latest ICT for measuring and reporting high blood pressure is promoting the concept of remote BP checking for nurses. This technology shows a global high acceptance rate of patients to reduce their hypertension. A new perspective of telephone utilization is also beneficial with the diffusion of smartphones and tablets that has revolutionized hypertension treatment through telemonitoring of blood pressure data. These alternatives are cheap and effective that aims to address the patient problem in the hospital. Moreover, care coordination for hypertension is important because that helps patients to maintain healthy eating behaviors, be physically active, and manage and cope with chronic stress with positivity. Care coordination links patients of hypertension with vital community resources and helps social services to respond to their needs. For example, it helps to track and support hypertension patients when they get any services outside nursing homes. Nurses can use community resources to prevent cardiovascular problems, heart attack, eye damage, and stroke in patients (Belo-Delariarte, 2018). Therefore, community resources used can help nurse to enhance their patient care outcomes and professional practices using telehealth. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention CDC offers a “Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention” along with educational programs to help healthcare leaders improve patient care outcomes. This shows that using technology, ca
