Remote Collaboration and Evidence-Based Care Good afternoon everyone and welcome to my Remote

Collaboration and Evidence-Based Care Video for NURS4030: Making Evidence-Based Decisions. My name is Marissa Palko and During this video, I plan to:  Propose an evidence-based care plan to improve the safety and outcomes for a patient.  Explain the ways in which an evidence-based practice model was used to help develop the care plan.  Reflect on which evidence was most relevant and useful when making decisions regarding the care plan.  Identify benefits and strategies to mitigate the challenges of interdisciplinary collaboration to plan care withing the context of a remote team.  I will make mention of the Vila Health Scenario which mentions a child recently diagnosed with cystic fibrosis 

Providing care for patients who are unable to come into the physician’s office for a follow-up appointment after being hospitalized can be a difficult task.

Not having a proper follow-up appointment can severely impact the patient’s progression, cause unnecessary trips to the emergency department, and slow the patient’s recovery rate. For this reason, remote collaboration has become popular for these patients. According to Tuckson, Edmunds and Hodgkins (who published on this topic in 2017) telehealth and telemedicine are terms that are interchangeable and defined as medical information via electronic communication that is shared to help improve a patient’s outcomes. This video will make mention of a pediatric patient named Caitlynn, and her family, as she has a new diagnosis
