The incentives and pressures for cost control and improved health outcomes have increased the development and use of telehealth technology in the home setting. Telehealth:
 
  1. Uses WebTV to teach clients about their health
  2. Includes sharing health information between the client and clinicians using elec-tronic communications
  3. Requires home health nurses to make regular visits to clients to check the tech-nology
  4. Often violates the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) laws because information can be shared easily

Question 2

One reason for using a concurrent audit rather than a retrospective audit is that it:
 
  1. Is less costly than a retrospective audit
  2. Represents the total picture of care that the client receives
  3. Provides more accurate data for planning corrective action
  4. Identifies problems at the time that care is given
