Details:

Telehealth encompasses a wide range of basic to complex health care delivery options, with an equally expansive array of technologies that may be employed. For this assignment, you will locate a scholarly article published within the last 3 years in a peer-reviewed journal on telehealth. This assignment consists of two parts; Part One requires you to develop and present a two-paragraph assessment comprising a précis and critical evaluation of a scholarly article focusing on a telehealth technology, and the second part requires you to construct a Mind Map to generate ideas about how the telehealth technology you identified can be used in your current practice.

General Guidelines:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

• This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
• Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.
• This assignment requires that at least two additional scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source be included.
• You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

Directions:

PART I: Précis and Critical Evaluation.

Donald Davidson, in his book, American Composition and Rhetoric, discusses the précis as follows:

“A précis is not an outline, but a summary or digest. It is useful as an exercise in grasping the essential ideas of an already completed composition and in stating these ideas in concentrated form. The précis shears away all elaborations of the thought and gives only what is left, in such a way as to make the summary a complete composition. It does not, therefore, skeletonize the original composition so much as it reduces its scale. Many of the articles in The Reader’s Digest are only précis, so skillfully done that the average reader does not know that he is reading a summary. Since the précis says a great deal within a brief space, it is of great service in taking notes on library assignments and general reading.”

The précis should be an organization of ideas, include logical sequencing of points, contain clear and meaningful expression, and use language suitable to the situation. When finished, the précis should clearly state:

• A statement of what was studied (i.e., argued, discussed, deliberated).
• A statement of focus of the scholarly article you selected, (i.e., how it was organized and completed).
• A statement of what information was identified or learned from the scholarly article.
• A statement of why the information in the article is important to your field of study.

PART II: Mind Map.

Brainstorm to generate ideas about how the telehealth technology you identified can be used in your current practice using a mind map. Submit the final map along with the précis to the Topic drop box.

How to do it:

• Take a sheet(s) of paper and write an identifiable main idea in the center of the page, using a one-three words. (You may also achieve this via an electronic sheet of “paper”).
• Draw a branch off your main idea; on the branch write or draw a main topic related to your main idea.
• Continue to branch off from your main idea with main topics as needed.
• From your main topics, branch off with subtopics.
• From your subtopics, branch off with supporting details (write and/or draw). Continue to add more details. You are free to add more topics, subtopics, or any other items.
• When you stand back and survey your work, you should see a map: hence the name for this activity. At this point you can start to form conclusions about how to approach a potential area of practice change. At the end of the day, what you do with the particular “map” or “cluster set” or “web” that you produce depends on what you need.

Submit both the précis and the final mind map in fulfillment of this assignment.

 

 

 

Week  1,2, & 4 Journal Entry
Select a client that you observed or counseled this week. Then, address the following in your Practicum Journal:

• Describe the client (without violating HIPAA regulations) and identify any pertinent history or medical information, including prescribed medications.
• Using the DSM-5, explain and justify your diagnosis for this client.
• Explain whether cognitive behavioral therapy would be effective with this client. Include expected outcomes based on this therapeutic approach. Support your approach with evidence-based literature.
• Explain any legal and/or ethical implications related to counseling this client.

Note: Be sure to use the Practicum Journal Template, located in the Learning Resources.

Review Healthy People 2020 Global Health Initiatives. Choose one disease process and discuss the disease process, the goal of Healthy People 2020, and how the CDC plays a role in meeting the goal.

The disease process I chose to discuss is heart disease and stroke. Heart disease is caused by various risk factors including, smoking, hypertension, high cholestrerol, poor diet, and inactivity. Patients can also be genetically predisposed to heart disease. Healthy people 2020 has set a goal and interventions to help reduce the amount of people affected by this disease and to improve the quality of life of those that are affected. Improve cardiovascular health and quality of life through prevention, detection, and treatment of risk factors for heart attack and stroke; early identification and treatment of heart attacks and strokes; prevention of repeat cardiovascular events; and reduction in deaths from cardiovascular disease (Healthy People 2020, 2018). This goal can be met by patients becoming aware of their risk for heart disease. This takes place by having screenings such as labs to check for high cholesterol, smoking cessation counseling, and management of high blood pressure. The CDC supports Healthy People 2020 in reaching their goal. With $165 million for heart disease and stroke programs (including WISEWOMAN) in Fiscal Year 2018, CDC supports all 50 states and the District of Columbia to conduct heart disease and stroke prevention efforts (CDC, 2018). The goal can be met with interventions being implemented not only by patients but healthcare providers. Healthcare providers must use screenings to determine the risk of heart disease. Also important would be educating the patient of the effects of the disease and management of the disease including compliance with medication such as a daily regimen of aspirin if not contraindicated. Heart disease and stroke are big topics in the United states that need awareness and initiatives for meeting goals. In addition to being the first and fifth leading causes of death, heart disease and stroke result in serious illness and disability, decreased quality of life, and hundreds of billions of dollars in economic loss every year (Healthy People 2020, 2018).

 Post a description of the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected for analysis, and explain how the healthcare issue/stressor may impact your work setting. Then, describe how your health system work setting has responded to the healthcare issue/stressor, including a description of what changes may have been implemented. Be specific and provide examples.
