Telehealth Books by Sheila Wheeler

The Pandemic has propelled Telehealth center stage overnight.  Telehealth is now an essential aspect of care! 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   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 2022.  Telehealth Guidelines may be used as a training tool – as a review of Common Presenting Symptoms.  It may also be used as a reference to any 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.
