Tom Baker and Courtney Gordon Presented at AAHCM Meeting in Chicago
Tom Baker, RN and Courtney Gordon, DNP presented at the American Academy of Home Care Medicine last week in Chicago. The title of their talk was “Leveraging Skills of RNs, NPs, and CNAs to Support Triage and Facilitate Patient Consults via Telehealth”. Home care medicine has proven to be an effective mechanism for managing high risk patient populations. As demand for home-based services continues to scale, technology like TeleHealth visits will become increasingly important. This session will address innovations in utilizing non-providers in the provision of TeleHealth services in busy Housecalls practices. It will look at an innovative RN- driven process that works collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team and maximizes new communication technologies in the delivery of home based primary care.
