Books by Sheila Wheeler

With the Pandemic, comes Telehealth –now  an essential service and overnight, center stage.  The next phase, formal clinical Telehealth training is also essential!  

Ms Wheeler has written several telehealth books. The newest training manual  Telehealth: Essentials  for Expert Clinical Practice (2021)  will be available from Amazon in early January 2021.  It is  a  revision of the  1993 training manual,  and includes a Standards Manual.  Amazon will sell a  second book — Telehealth Risk Management in Primary Care, Urgent Care and Emergency Department Settings soon thereafter.

Managers: Jump start your clinical training  for existing or new staff!  The texts are unique, evidence-based and practical  — for a group or a new hire as a self-study.  Get staff up to speed quickly, and check that task off your list!  To date, no evidence has shown that, by themselves, electronic algorithms can safely replace the need for a complete system, including clinical training.  Training  materials are an essential component of a basic  telehealth system.
