iTelehealth
is a company that is committed to developing new ways of delivering
health care. See below for examples of some of our innovative approaches.
Virtual Clinical Practicum® (VCP®)
Due to the world-wide nursing shortage, the Nursing Telehealth Applications
Initiative was conceptualized and initiated in an effort to find
new ways to deliver health care and nursing education. Through this
initiative, iTelehealth was able to research feasibility, and ultimately
pilot the Virtual Clinical Practicum®, a program to provide
clinical education to nursing students at a distance. This ground-breaking
research has shown the VCP® to be a viable option to address
some of the issues in nursing education. The result is a new process
in which clinical nursing education is delivered.

Telenursing
for Remote Cardiac Rehab
This significant qualitative research effort evaluated the feasibility
and outcomes of a remote, home-based cardiac rehabilitation program
for post-surgery Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) patients using
current telehealth technologies to conduct follow up visits rather
than usual in-person nurse visits. The innovative program consisted
of a new way of delivering health care to these post-op patients,
and yielded positive results overall.
