NURS FPX 4900 Assessment 5 Intervention Presentation and Capstone Video Reflection

In the video reflection, the presenter will focus on the outcomes of an evidence-based approach to diabetes explored in the capstone project. The suggestion will be made to implement telehealth as an intervention to support the treatment of diabetic patients.

Contribution of an Intervention

Michael Calica, now sixty years old, continues to reside in the family home with his relatives. Standing at five feet tall and weighing 162 pounds, Michael received a prediabetes diagnosis in 2018 due to persistently abnormal A1C levels across multiple visits. By 2020, despite efforts to improve his health through increased physical activity and nutrient-rich meals, a diabetes diagnosis was confirmed.

The physical examination should emphasize the skin and extremities, particularly the feet. Consequently, diabetic patients require at least annual in-person visits for proper foot inspections and sensory screenings to address concerns identified during previous telemedicine sessions.

Telemedicine improves patient health by digitally sharing medical information and operates in various forms. Synchronous telemedicine provides real-time virtual care, while asynchronous telemedicine collects medical data for later evaluation. Remote monitoring involves the continuous gathering of health data from patients.

Michael offered feedback, suggesting that telemedicine services for managing his diabetes could prove cost-effective. Teleretinal testing further aids this effort by enabling virtual reviews of retinal images taken at a primary care office, streamlining the annual testing process.

NURS FPX 4900 Assessment 5

Technological progress has facilitated the creation of effective telehealth programs tailored to diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) for patients and providers (Chou & Chuang, 2020).

Telehealth employs digital tools and communication technology to enhance long-term medical care and patient education. When launching a telemedicine program, nurses must evaluate patient needs (Genco & Borgnakke, 2020).
