Telehealth/remote care simulation No Stigma Simulation Design Template (Revised 2/25/24) focuses on caring for an adult with opioid use disorder (OUD) to build empathetic, nonjudgmental communication and timely, patient-centered team coordination. Learning objectives cover reducing risk of harm, applying evidence-based OUD practice, and addressing stigma tied to OUD and medication-assisted therapy. The scenario emphasizes telehealth etiquette, rapport, therapeutic communication, assessment and clinical reasoning, and interprofessional care coordination including planning and handoff.

Simulation 5: Telehealth/Remote Care This image was created with the assistance of DALL·E 2 Estimated Run Time: 15 minutes Adapted for Student Population: NP/DNP Setting: Virtual/Telehealth Patient Population: Adult Learning Objectives General Objectives: 1. Communicates with the patient using an empathetic and nonjudgmental approach 2. Employs strategies to reduce risk of harm to the patient and family 3. Utilizes evidence-based practice in the care of individuals with OUD 4. Communicates appropriately with other health care team members in a timely, organized, patient-centered manner Simulation Scenario Objectives: 1. Demonstrates proficiency in telehealth care as evidenced by proper etiquette, developing rapport, professionalism, therapeutic communication, assessment, and clinical reasoning in the care of the individual with OUD (AMERSA Standard 11) 2. Formulates strategies to address stigma associated with OUD and medication assisted therapy (AMERSA Standards 5D, 7) 3. Employs use of evidence-based guidelines during telehealth for assessment, diagnose, management, and harm reduction for a patient with OUD and comorbid conditions (AMERSA Standards 4, 9, 16) 4. Designs interprofessional care coordination, planning, and handoff in the care of patient/family (AMERSA APRN Standard 5A) Psychomotor Skills Required of Participants Prior to Simulation: N/A Cognitive Activities Required of Participants Prior to Simulation (textbooks, lecture notes, articles, websites, etc. ) Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
