Introduction
As technologies and the health care industry continue to evolve, remote care, diagnosis, and collaboration are becoming increasingly more regular methods by which nurses are expected to work. Learning the ways in which evidence-based models and care can help remote work produce better outcomes will become critical for success. Additionally, understanding how to leverage EBP principles in collaboration will be important in the success of institutions delivering quality, safe, and cost-effective care. It could also lead to better job satisfaction for those engaging in remote collaboration.
Professional Context
Remote care and diagnosis is a continuing and increasingly important method for nurses to help deliver care to patients to promote safety and enhance health outcomes. Understanding best EBPs and building competence in delivering nursing care to remote patients is a key competency for all nurses. Additionally, in some scenarios, while you may be delivering care in person you may be collaborating with a physician or other team members who are remote. Understanding the benefits and challenges of interdisciplinary collaboration is vital to developing effective communication strategies when coordinating care. So, being proficient at communicating and working with remote health care team members is also critical to delivering quality, evidence-base care.
Preparation
Before beginning this assessment, it would be helpful to review the following media activity to examine another example of remote collaboration:
· Vila Health: Remote Collaboration on Evidence-Based Care .
You may also wish to review Selecting a model for evidence-based practice changes. [PDF] and Evidence-Based Practice Model s, which help explain the various evidence-based nursing models.
Scenario
Review the case study in the Assessment 04 Supplement: Remote Collaboration and Evidence-Based Care [PDF] Download Assessment 04 Supplement: Remote Collaboration and Evidence-Based Care [PDF] resource. You will use this case study as the focus for this assessment.
Instructions
For this assessment, you are a presenter! You will create a 5–10-minute video using Kaltura or similar software. In the video:
· Propose an evidence-based care plan that you believe will improve the safety and outcomes of the patient in the case study presented in the Assessment 04 Supplement: Remote Collaboration and Evidence-Based Care [PDF] Download Assessment 04 Supplement: Remote Collaboration and Evidence-Based Care [PDF] resource (pdf is down below). Add your thoughts on what more could be done for the patient and what more information may have been needed.
· Discuss the ways in which an EBP model and relevant evidence helped you to develop and make decisions about the plan you proposed
· Wrap up your video by identifying the benefits of the remote collaboration in the scenario, as well as discuss strategies you found in the literature or best practices that could help mitigate or overcome one or more of the collaboration challenges you observed in the scenario.
Be sure you mention any articles, authors, and other relevant sources of evidence that helped inform your video. Discuss why these sources of evidence are credible and relevant. Important: You are required to submit an APA-formatted reference list of the sources you cited specifically in your video or used to inform your presentation. You are required to submit a narrative of all your video content to this assessment and to SafeAssign.
The following media is an example learner submission in which the speaker successfully addresses all competencies in the assessment.
· Exemplar Kaltura Reflection .
· Please note that the scenario that the speaker discusses in the exemplar is different from the Vila Health scenario you should be addressing in your video. So, the type of communication expected is being model, but the details related to the scenario in your submission will be different.
Make sure that your video addresses the following grading criteria:
· Propose your own evidence-based care plan to improve the safety and outcomes for a patient in the provided case study.
· Explain the ways in which you used an EBP model to help develop your plan of care for the client.
· Reflect on which evidence you found in your search that was most relevant and useful when making decisions regarding your care plan.
· Identify benefits and strategies to mitigate the challenges of interdisciplinary collaboration to plan care within the context of a remote team.
· Communicate in a professional manner that is easily audible and uses proper grammar, including a reference list formatted in current APA style.
Refer to Using Kaltura as needed to record and upload your video.
Note : If you require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication methods to participate in this activity, please contact [email protected] to request accommodations. If, for some reason, you are unable to record a video, please contact your faculty member as soon as possible to explore options for completing the assessment.
Additional Requirements
Your assessment should meet the following requirements:
· Length of video: 5-10 minutes.
· References: Cite at least three professional or scholarly sources of evidence to support the assertions you make in your video. Include additional properly cited references as necessary to support your statements.

Create a 5-10 minute video of yourself, as a presenter, in which you will propose an evidence- based plan to improve the outcomes the patient in the provided case study below, and examine how remote collaboration provided benefits or challenges to designing and delivering the care. Before you complete the instructions detailed in the courseroom, first review the case study below. INTRODUCTION Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a serious condition in which the heart doesn’t pump blood as efficiently as it should. Providing evidence-based care for CHF can be challenging, especially when care is being provided remotely. In this case study, we will observe how healthcare professionals collaborate remotely and virtually to provide care for a patient with CHF. PATIENT INFORMATION The patient is a 65-year-old male diagnosed with congestive heart failure. He lives in a rural area and has limited access to specialized cardiac care. The patient has a history of hypertension and has been experiencing symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in the legs. COLLABORATION PROCESS The patient’s primary care physician, Dr. Johnson, collaborates remotely with a team of healthcare professionals, including a cardiologist, a nurse, and a pharmacist, to provide evidence-based care for CHF. • Dr. Johnson: “Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining this virtual meeting to discuss the care of our patient with congestive heart failure. Based on the patient’s symptoms and medical history, I believe he would benefit from a comprehensive treatment plan. I would like to hear your input and recommendations.” • Cardiologist: “Thank you, Dr. Johnson. I have reviewed the patient’s medical records and echocardiogram results. I agree that the patient has congestive heart failure and requires a comprehensive treatment plan. I recommend initiating medication therapy, including ACE inhibitors and diuretics, to manage his symptoms and improve cardiac function.” • Nurse: “I have been monitoring the patient’s vital signs remotely and have noticed fluctuations in blood pressure and weight. I suggest implementing a telemonitoring system to closely monitor the patient’s condition and provide timely interventions when
2 necessary. This will help us detect any worsening of symptoms and prevent hospitalizations.” • Pharmacist: “I have reviewed the patient’s medication list and potential drug interactions. It is crucial to ensure that the patient understands the importance of medication adherence and any potential side effects. I recommend providing education and counseling to the patient and his family on the proper use of medications and lifestyle modifications.” • Dr. Johnson: “Thank you all for your valuable input. I will incorporate your recommendations into the patient’s treatment plan. Let’s schedule regular virtual follow- up visits to monitor his progress and make any necessary adjustments to his care.” Consider additional consultations that might be necessary as you develop your plan of care for this patient.
