Five Steps to Integrating Telehealth Into APRN Curricula

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic suddenly changed the scene of primary care visits. As clinics abruptly transitioned to telehealth visits, health care providers and students were required to use digital technologies to deliver health care from a distance. This article highlights 5 steps used by faculty to integrate telehealth concepts into the graduate curriculum for all advanced practice registered nurse programs. As patients and providers recognize its widespread acceptance, telehealth will likely have a permanent place in traditional health care delivery long after the COVID-19 pandemic.
