"It is a book which describes how creative people, often taking a fresh approach, can get the best out of what modern distance communications technology has to offer."--From the foreword by Susan M. Sparks, RN, PhD, FAAN, Senior Education Specialist, National Library of Medicine This book reflects recent developments in both distance education and telehealth, focusing on practical strategies nurses can put to use in the classroom or clinic. Each chapter is written by acknowledged experts for the particular topic. The previous edition won an American Journal of Nursing Book of the Year Award.
Home Telehealth is the provision of high-quality care delivered by telecommunications to patients at home. It enables doctors and nurses to see, hear and talk to patients, take their vital signs and even conduct biochemical tests - all at a distance. The application of home telehealth allows for greater efficiency, increasing access to patients in remote regions at a lower cost and can also reduce hospitalisations. Home Telehealth: Connecting Care Within the Community demonstrates how medicine can be applied to homecare and challenges clinicians to consider it in their everyday working practice. This book addresses the evidence-base, the techniques, applications and future implications. It draws together a wide range of topics, including smart homes, wound management, fall monitoring, quarantine applications, chronic disease management, child monitoring, home health monitoring and home dialysis. Written by experts from four continents, this book provides an informative and comprehensive review of best practice in the field. It should prove invaluable for medical practitioners of all kinds, for nurses, health service managers and IT staff.

It is believed that this fact has been ascertained with sufficient certainty. Between 1710 and 1713 nearly all palatines, who have left any trace of their presence, began to arrive in the State and to fulfill their important part in the upbuilding of this commonwealth. In the course of this investigation extending, as it needs must do, in so many directions and having to do with so many records, a large amount of valuable material would naturally accumulate. This has appeared...
