NHPCO NewsLine Spring 2016 - (Page 40)

Short Takes New Addition to Palliative Care Resource Series "Best Practices for Using Telehealth in Palliative Care" is the latest edition to the library of NHPCO's issue briefs that address a variety of topics of relevance to communitybased palliative care providers. The newest document in the growing resource series will help providers define telehealth, understand principles for implementing a telehealth program, and identify steps for implementation for various teams. Written by Lori Bishop, RN, CHPN; Tammy Flick, RN, BS, CPEHR, CTC; and Vicki Wildman, MSN, Edu, the document has a companion PowerPoint slide presentation that can be used to help with training efforts of teams and other staff. Members may download the companion PowerPoint, as well as all the other available Resource Series publications and PowerPoints, from the Palliative Care Resource Series page online. Some News Links of Interest NHPCO shares links to news articles of interest about palliative care that can be found via the members-only Palliative Care Resource section of the website.
