Highlights
- •Nurse practitioner graduates need to be prepared to be leaders in telehealth.
- •There is limited literature available to evaluate students in telehealth competencies.

- •Examples of competency-based teaching and learning strategies will guide faculty.
Abstract
Owing to the increased use of telehealth as a widely accepted means of providing patient
care and the movement toward competency-based education, implementation of telehealth
teaching, learning, and evaluation strategies into the graduate nursing plan of study
is evolving quickly. This report uses Rutledge’s “4Ps of Telehealth” framework to
provide resources for faculty to incorporate telehealth knowledge, skills, attitudes,
core telehealth competencies, and evaluation practices into the bachelor of science
nursing to doctor of nursing practice program curriculum based on the National Organization
of Nurse Practitioner Faculties Nurse Practitioner Core Competencies. Formal preparation
of students ensures future nurse practitioners are able to provide proficient, effective
care through telehealth upon graduation.
