  6. What is Telehealth? • The delivery of health-related care and information through telecommunication services. (Kinsella, 2008) • Examples: • Two people on the telephone • Videoconferencing

  7. What are smart devices? • Smart devices are: • Toilets • Weighing Scales • Blood Pressure Cuffs • Pulse Oximeters • Glucose Machines • Peak Flow Meters • ECG Monitoring • Pill Dispensers

  8. How do telehealth & smart devices work together? • Immediate information relayed to your Doctor or nurse. • Networking and sharing information: • Hospitals • Doctor’s offices • Clinics

  9. Hardware Needed • Computer • Monitor • Keyboard • Internet Access • USB cable • Telephone / Cellular Phone

  10. Hardware Needed • Smart Buddy, by Bosch • Webcam • Microphone • Speakers • Smart Device • Scale, Glucose Machine, Toilet, etc.

  11. Description of a Smart Device Hardware • Example: Smart Scale • Normal looking scale • Bluetooth capability • 440 lb capacity • Battery operated • USB connection (SC-1 Telehealth Scale, n.d.)

  12. Software • Bluetooth • Text Messaging • ZigBee • (Project ShoeString, 2009)

  13. Describes software application • “Bluetooth connection is wireless and automatic.” (Franklin & Laytone, n.d.) • Transmits data using low-power radio waves. • Range of approximately 30 feet. • Relatively Inexpensive (Franklin & Laytone, n.d,)

  14. ZyXEL

  15. Order of data transmitting

  16. Summary of the evaluation of usability of software Axioms 1: Simple to use. Axioms 2: Few steps, few mistakes. Axioms 3: Sold millions.

  17. Information System • Omni MD • Electronic Medical Record (EMR) software • Practice Management System (PMS) • Easy to access • Many devices supported • HIPAA compliant • Secure site (OmniMD, n.d.)

  18. OmniMD Summary • Patient portal • Appointment scheduler • Eligibility Verification • Patient Reminder • (OmniMD, n.d.)

  19. OmniMD Summary • Specialty EMR • ePrescribing (eRx) • Medical Transcription • Charge Capture • PM / Billing System • (OmniMD, n.d.)

  20. OmniMD Summary Lab Order Integration Document Management Referral Management Medical Calculators (OmniMD, n.d.)

  21. OmniMD Data Standards • OmniMDuses: • Healthlevel7 data standards (Products Overview,n.d) • OmniMD received: • CCHIT CertifiedSM status (OmniMD EMR Recieves Prestigious CCHIT Certification for EMR, USA, 2007)

  22. OmniMD Disease & Procedure Classification System • OmniMD uses: • CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) • ICD (International Classification of Diseases) • OmniMD is compliant with: • Medicare • HCFA (Health Care Financing Administration) (Charge Capture – FAQs, n.d)

  23. OmniMD Nursing Standards Classification Unable to locate

  26. Disadvantages of Telehealth with Smart Devices • Disadvantages: • Expense of software and devices • Computer knowledge & fear of computers • Self responsibility • Possibility of confidential records exposed

  27. Legal & Ethical Issues Related to Telehealth with Smart Devices • HIPPA / Privacy • Computer Hacking • Lost computers • Correct patient / information

  28. Nursing Competences Required for Telehealth with Smart Devices • Computer Knowledge • Use e-mail • Operate Windows, Vista, or MAC applications • Use search engines • Operate specific EHR (electronic health records) (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2009, p.116) • Proficient in the Smart Devices • Transfer & download information

  29. Functions & Responsibilities of the Nursing Informatics Communicate data with patients and providers. Confirm all software is working correctly. Confirm all users of software have the knowledge to use software. Following up with software and patients

  30. Summarizing Telehealth with Smart Devices Importance of telehealth. Importance of smart devices. How telehealth & smart devices work together. Software & Hardware needed. OmniMD – Electronic health record Advantages and Disadvantages Responsibilities
