Re: National Telehealth Education Survey
Dear Colleague,
I am writing to request your participation in a national survey of telehealth providers. Prior to COVID-19, one of the primary barriers to telehealth adoption was adequate training of clinicians. There is a lack of current knowledge about where and how providers are educated to use telehealth. The purpose of this study is to determine where and what kind of telehealth education practicing telehealth providers receive and whether there is a correlation between the type of telehealth education received and provider practice site, level of self-efficacy, perceived knowledge, use and satisfaction with telehealth.
I am requesting that you complete an electronic research survey titled "Telehealth Education: Impact on Provider Experience and Adoption." The survey will take less than 15 minutes to complete. Your participation is voluntary and the information reported is anonymous with no traceability of your answers. Computer information used to complete the survey will not be collected. Consent to participate is implied by completion of the survey and may be withdrawn at any time.
Please access the anonymous survey at the following link: https://redcap.musc.edu/surveys/?s=7TPLRJM3KH
This research is part of my capstone project in the Doctor of Nursing Practice program at Old Dominion University. Your input may greatly impact the future of telehealth education. Identifying effective forms of telehealth education may influence the development of future education programs, leading to an improved telehealth provider experience and enhanced provider adoption of telehealth.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at 301-606-7883 or kgarb002@odu.edu , Dr. Tina Gustin (Responsible Principal Investigator) at 757-285-6215 or tgustin@odu.edu or Dr. Tancy Vandecar-Burdin, the Institutional Review Board (IRB) Chair at Old Dominion University, at 757-683-3802 or tvandeca@odu.edu to review this matter with you. You may also contact the Office of Research at 757-683-3460.
Thank you in advance for your participation in this important study.
Warm Regards,
Kelli Garber, MSN, APRN, PPCNP-BC
