Telehealth is becoming increasingly integral in providing improved access to care, especially for patients who reside in frontier and rural areas. Nurse practitioner (NP) faculty are charged with preparing NP students through curriculum and clinical experiences that align with the health care environment and the health care access needs of the populations they serve.
To meet this need, NP faculty at a land-grant university located in a frontier and rural midwestern state reinforced NP student telehealth curriculum and competency through application in a clinical environment.
Participants included 22 family NP (FNP) students and 19 clinical preceptors. According to the evaluations, the FNP students met seven of the eight competency criteria, and the preceptors met eight of the 13 evaluation criteria.
Outcomes indicate telehealth curriculum competency can be reinforced through application in a clinical setting to prepare NP students to meet the needs of patients and changing health care environments. [J Nurs Educ. 2020;59(7):413-417.].
远程医疗在提供更好的医疗服务方面变得越来越重要，特别是对于居住在边疆和农村地区的患者。护士从业者（NP）教师的任务是通过课程和临床经验来培养 NP 学生，这些课程和临床经验要与他们所服务的医疗环境和医疗服务需求保持一致。
为了满足这一需求，位于中西部边疆农村地区的一所赠地大学的 NP 教师通过在临床环境中的应用，加强了 NP 学生的远程医疗课程和能力。
参与者包括 22 名家庭 NP（FNP）学生和 19 名临床导师。根据评估，FNP 学生满足了八项能力标准中的七项，导师满足了十三项评估标准中的八项。
结果表明，通过在临床环境中的应用可以加强远程医疗课程的能力，从而使 NP 学生能够满足患者和不断变化的医疗环境的需求。[J Nurs Educ. 2020;59(7):413-417.]。
