TELEHEALTH AND SELF-MANAGEMENT SUPPORT 2

Telehealth and Self-Management Support

Despite being considered the same thing, self-management support, and patient education

are different concepts. As discussed by Natureresaerch (2020), patients are exposed to either

therapeutic or preventive courses of information through patient education. As such, patients are

educated on their health status and the essence of altering lifestyles or behaviors, which are most

likely to affect their health negatively. By following the conditions given in patient education,

patients can either know how to address their diseases and conditions or prevent the occurrence

of diseases or conditions. On the other hand, self-management support is the support given to

patients to control the extent of their illnesses and conditions. For instance, a health practitioner

can correspond with a patient on the latter’s condition, recommend therapies, and drug

alternatives on a timely basis.

In its release on self-management support, the World Health Organization relayed some

of the features associated with patients' self-support through discussing telehealth applications.

The applicable programs are developed with the patient's condition considered. There are

shareable goals between healthcare providers and patients. There are also educational materials

that guide the patients on the actions they are supposed to take through their treatment and

therapy courses. There are tens of telehealth applications. Each application is developed with

unique capabilities on aspects, such as the engagement between health practitioners and patients,

costing, and patient assessment mode. Some of the telehealth applications include Live Health

Online Mobile, Doctor on Demand, and Amwell: Doctor Visits 24/7 (Jewell, 2020).
