Hello, Lori You made a great point with telehealth and telecare. Sanders et al. (2012) identified telehealth and telecare interventions for improving quality and cost-effectiveness of care for people with long term complex health and social care needs. Patients who use this innovative change in care delivery have an increase in autonomy. There is the convenience as you emphasized due to decrease in unnecessary travel. However, according to a study by Sanders et al. (2012), some patients are reluctant to take part in this service due to many misconceptions such as technical competency to operate equipment, identity threats, independence and self-care; expectations and experiences of disruption to services. In time and with teachings much of this misconceptions may be diminish thus enhance usage. Reference …show more content…

Illness can be defined as a state of suffering due to the presence of a disease, this term can be used to describe a patient’s personal experience of a disease. This definition is a modern concept which is based on the scientific approach of illness as a biological or mental abnormality with a cause, train of symptoms and a treatment method. While in primitive societies illness was seen as an evil spirit that attacked people and caused them pain or death, this primitive concept of illness was as a result of superstitious beliefs and lack of scientific development. During the middle ages the concept of illness was influenced heavily by religious beliefs and illness was seen as punishment for sins. The way each society defined illness was

"It's much cheaper to keep people well than it is to treat them when they're sick," he says. "Part of wellness will be monitoring what's specifically important about each patient, like bathroom scales for congestive heart failure patients or glucometers for diabetics that transmit data directly to their EHRs." -John D. Halamka, MD, MS(McBride).

Medicaid relates to critical race theory in how many low income individuals are able to access health care nationwide. According to PBS News Hour (2015), “ In California, 3 million more people than expected have enrolled in Medicaid, but that success has exacerbated longstanding shortages of some kinds of care” (para. 1). This directly relates to social work practice in that I could have client’s that will be affected with the changes. People could have a hard time trying to find providers in their areas for their specialty needs, that will also take Medicaid as payment. Most providers do not want to take Medicaid patients because they will not get paid enough for each patient compared to private health care payment.

Since many operations in medicine require a large sum of money, some are unable to pay and therefore don’t receive the needed surgery. Another factor that could affect whether or not a person gets a surgery is communication. Many argue that with more technological growth in the medical field, one-on-one interaction is becoming less important. According to Kendall Antekeier, “ Many patients choose their health professionals because of the way they interact with them.” So for some, they prefer human interaction over technology.

In telepsychiatry, many of the companies that provide this service are looking to serve underdeveloped communities with access to some of the best mental health physicians in the world. Many are skeptical of these services because they are done electronically, however many also believe that they are incredibly similar to receiving care in person. There are many studies being done to show the reliability of psychiatric diagnoses that are done electronically. One particular study found that with individuals that have very common diagnoses in this field, such as depression and alcohol dependence the amount of reliability was almost identical whether it was done via telecommunication or in person

That's why she might be reluctant and hesitant in disclosing certain aspects about her existing situation. We don't know if Ashley discussed her concerns with her mum or other family members, so she needs to be approached sensitively , as she might feel ashamed.

The research conducted to date has dealt largely with very focused questions (e.g., the accuracy of auscultation), and has been characterized by small samples and methodologic weaknesses. Research conducted by Grigsby et al, 1995 stated that appears that many telemedicine applications may be effective means of providing health services, whereas Houtchens et al, 1993 stated that telemedicine may certainly affect patient management but at this present moment it is difficult to assess telemedicine in relation to conventional medical care. Although one should not expect telemedicine to be validated more thoroughly than has been the case for ordinary health services, and it should not be necessary to evaluate all of the telemedicine it is important to understand how the two modes of delivery compare (Grigsby et al.,

When it comes to the accessibility of services, existing research has presented the limitation that not all Internet or technology based interventions are appropriate for all ages, genders and social groups in a population. Evidence suggests that the utilization of telehealth seems to be, “higher amongst older, more likely to be female, and more likely to be married,” (Lubin, Jordan, Wortmann, Larson, & Litz). There is also a concern that technology has no place in the treatment of certain disorders and symptoms. First, internet security is a huge issue right now, and it’s a something to keep in mind. It is also important to consider that individuals that are not very familiar with technology, like old people, might be unable to access telehealth services.
