Books by Sheila Wheeler

The Pandemic has propelled Telehealth center stage overnight.  It is essential! Telehealth clinical training is also essential!  All training tools for a complete system are listed here.

Ms Wheeler’s newest training manual  Telehealth: Essentials  for Expert Clinical Practice   will be available from Amazon in early 2021.  It is  a  revision of the  1993 training manual,  and includes a Standards Manual.  Telehealth Risk Management in Ambulatory and Pre-Hospital Settings will be released in early 2021 as well.  The two new books are available  on Amazon in Spring of 2021.  Telehealth Guidelines may be used as a training tool (Review of Common Presenting Symptoms) to augment any an all guidelines – electronic or paper.

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.
