General Information

Overview

Digital health is being used in hospitals and private health care providers in the community. Using electronic systems to communicate and store personal health care data is fast becoming the norm and is yet another expectation of contemporary health care. Hospital digital health systems require health care professionals to enter patient information, while the Australia wide My Health Record ensures all health care professionals have access to individual health records. This unit examines the different types of telecommunication and virtual technologies available in health care that promote individualised and person-centred care. You will explore the history of digital health care systems as well as analyse contemporary issues and concerns including cybersecurity, privacy, consent and electronic exchange of information.

Task Description

Learning Outcomes Assessed

1. Discuss considerations related to cybersecurity, privacy, consent, and electronic exchange of information when using digital health technology.

2. Explore how digital health technology can support person-centred care.

4. Analyse the role of telehealth in assisting people from regional and remote areas to access appropriate health care.

Aim

This assessment is related to the rights of all individuals to access adequate health care using telehealth models of care. Lower availability of services is a recognised health risk factor and a determinant of poorer health. Affordable and timely access to health services can prevent illness and can cure, stop, slow the development of, or make bearable, illnesses or chronic conditions. Telehealth models of care lower the burden of travel, accommodation and access to health services for many people. It is important to be familiar with telehealth models as a care model that is available to healthcare providers and consumers. In this assessment, you are to explore the benefits and challenges of telehealth by completing a short answer written assessment.

Note: To achieve a passing grade for this unit you are required to pass this assessment item. If you do not pass this assessment item, you may have an opportunity to reattempt. If you are required to reattempt you can only achieve a maximum of 50% of the available marks for this assessment.

Instructions

The case study is specifically related to telehealth for rural/remote locations. The assessment consists of three sections, which you will explore and discuss.

Section One: Choose three benefits or advantages of telehealth that were discussed in the video. These should specifically relate to people living in rural and remote areas. Discuss these using relevant current literature to support your argument (500 words +/-10%).

Section Two: Discuss three challenges or barriers to telehealth in a small rural or remote community; one of these points must be around cybersecurity, privacy and/or electronic exchange of information. Use relevant current literature to support your argument (500 words +/-10%).

Section Three: Discuss how telehealth technology supports person-centred care. Consider implications for delivering person-centred care in small rural and remote locations/towns (500 words +/-10%).

Academic Integrity Statement

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.

Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.

When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.

Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.

As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.

What is a breach of academic integrity?

A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.

Why is academic integrity important?

A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.

Where can I get assistance?

For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
