Task:
Telenursing and telemedicine will only be successful if
patients engage in the program. You have been asked by your manager to pilot a
program aimed at improving transitions of care using the new telemedicine
system recently implemented at your hospital. What are some of the ways that
you can encourage both patient and provider engagement to ensure the pilot
program success?
