“…Prioritizing the well-being of healthcare professionals can enhance staff retention, reduce burnout rates, and ultimately improve the quality of patient care.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a reevaluation of global health capabilities, highlighting the importance of prioritizing the welfare of frontline healthcare workers. These individuals encountered difficult circumstances on a global scale, including longer work hours, heightened risk of virus exposure, and substantial strain on their mental and physical well-being. Healthcare professionals in China faced similar challenges. This article discusses systemic issues that have been exacerbated by the pandemic and argues for a sustained emphasis on the well-being of healthcare workers, rather than solely addressing it as a crisis response. Given the increasing likelihood of future global pandemics, it is crucial to emphasize the establishment of a durable support system that can enhance resilience and crisis management capabilities. This study examines the systemic challenges of the Chinese healthcare system, with a particular focus on the difficulties encountered during the pandemic. We advocate for a paradigm shift that acknowledges healthcare workers as essential stakeholders within healthcare systems. The objective is to encourage a worldwide conversation for implementing initiatives that transcend national boundaries, with the goal of consistently incorporating a culture of compassion and assistance into healthcare systems. We propose the implementation of a comprehensive support system that encompasses all facets of healthcare, going beyond the mere management of crises. Our vision is for health systems to prioritize the well-being of healthcare workers and the communities they serve, with a focus on resilience.

“…Telehealth is defined as providing care at a distance using telehealth technologies such as remote patient monitoring, asynchronous or synchronous visits, or mobile health (Rutledge et al, 2017). Telehealth has been shown to improve patient outcomes and increase access to health care (Conrad et al, 2020), with health outcomes comparable to in-person visits (Crawford et al, 2016; Kocsis & Yellowlees, 2018). With the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing has greatly increased the use of telehealth modalities to connect health care providers to their patients for acute and chronic disease management, including mental health services (Conrad et al, 2020).…”

Because of its increased use, it is essential that health care providers be familiar with all aspects of telehealth, including telehealth professionalism, while upholding standards of care.…”

Telehealth professionalism is an often-overlooked element when performing telehealth visits, but it is one that can impact patient and provider satisfaction with this health care delivery modality. This article describes a telehealth professionalism activity that was integrated into the education of advanced practice registered nursing students as one part of their telehealth education. Attainment in knowledge with this activity, in conjunction with positive student feedback, shows promise regarding the impact of the educational intervention and its sustainability.KEY WORDS Depression -Telehealth Etiquette -Telehealth Professionalism -Telepsychiatry W ith the rapid adoption of telehealth as a modality to provide quality health care at a distance, measures need to be in place to ensure that remote care affords patients with the same sense of well-being as in-person visits. Barriers to the utilization of telehealth include the loss of personalization and therapeutic communication (Cowan et al., 2019;Kocsis & Yellowlees, 2018;Wiljer et al., 2019). To combat these barriers, telehealth providers must be educated on the interpersonal skills and environmental requirements that are needed during a telehealth visit. These are known as telehealth professionalism or telehealth etiquette.It is important to note that telehealth professionalism not only encompasses therapeutic communication with the patient but also addresses several areas that contribute to a seamless telehealth visit at both the originating and distant sites (Gustin et al., 2020;Maheu et al., 2018;Rutledge et al., 2017). This article describes how one graduate nursing program combined a telehealth professionalism activity with telepsychiatry training in an existing clinical course for advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs). Reports of a pretest-posttest are presented, along with student comments from debriefing and a short essay evaluation.
