Create a scholarly paper on an important issue or topic or construct related to informatics/eHealth and nursing as introduced in this course. Your final paper should contain the following:
1. Title page. 2. Headings for each section in the rubric (note hat the introduction should not have a heading as per APA). 3. Introduction including a concise and compelling statement of the significance and relevance of the issue. The significance and relevance statements are supported by three scholarly sources. The introduction concludes with a thesis statement and statement of the significance of the topic. • The thesis: The thesis demonstrates an assertive stance on a relevant issue that is highly debatable. It is clearly worded, concise and controversy is significant. • Significance of the topic is clearly stated. 4. Literature review demonstrating that the issue is current and debatable through an analysis of the historical context of that issue. The scope and nature of the issue is synthesized in a clear and concise way. Synthesis means that citations with common key points are grouped. Paragraphs draw upon multiple sources to illustrate key points. The discussion is supported by a minimum of five relevant sources of scholarly literature. A balanced view of the issue is presented that demonstrates that the topic is debatable. 5. Philosophical or theoretical underpinnings that inform your position on the issue. The justification of a theory supports the discussion and clearly relates to the topic. It does not need to be a nursing theory. The discussion must be supported by literature. 6. General discussion of topic/issue/construct with references to literature and other sources of evidence to support your argument/thesis statement. Each argument paragraph opens with a clear, concise and thoughtful statement of the main argument that is connected to the thesis. A critical analysis of relevant nursing or health evidence is demonstrated that supports the argument identified in the opening sentence of the paragraph. The discussion is persuasive, flows well, and shows that the thesis is reasonable, coherent and grounded in evidence. A minimum of three different scholarly sources are synthesized to support each argument in the discussion. Each paragraph ends with a succinct summary of how the argument supports the thesis and flows into the next paragraph. Each argument should be discussed under a heading that identifies the main point within that argument. 7. Implications for nursing. Three clear, concise, and relevant implications for nursing practice are described. The discussion is supported by three or more relevant scholarly sources of literature. 8. Conclusion. The conclusion includes a clear and concise summary in relation to the stated thesis and reiterates aspects of key literature from the paper. Further questions of research are suggested. The final sentence in this paragraph leaves the reader with an insightful consideration to ponder related to nursing informatics. 9. Reference page. Your final paper should contain the following:

Scenario
You are a nursing case manager working in a 100-bed community hospital in a rural setting. Many patients are elderly with chronic health conditions and have several factors that impair their timeliness of follow-up appointments for chronic care management. The specific difficulties reported by patients include:
Many of the patients are remote, the hospital struggles to meet the needs of this community health population.
The hospital experiences a delay in patient care and chronic care management due to a lack of provider access.
Many patients report difficulty arranging transportation needs for their appointments which further limits their availability.
Patient complaints have increased with regards to lack of reliable, prompt service for patient chronic care consults and lingering concerns for their overall health.
The Chief Nursing Officer has assigned you to the Clinical Standards and Innovations Committee to examine strategies for best practice related to use of telehealth to support rural settings and expand care to all community populations. As the lead RN on the committee, you have been tasked with leading the telehealth initiative and have one month to research, analyze and propose the best evidence-based strategy. You will present your findings to the Chief Nursing Office and CEO of the facility in a succinct summary leveraging your committee’s recommendation.
Instructions
You have been asked for the summary to include the following components:
Discuss the defining characteristics of telehealth
Include your personal definition of telehealth
How does telehealth impact nursing practice
Examine how telehealth is currently integrated in healthcare
Describe the evidence-based practice that supports the use of telehealth in rural and community healthcare settings.
Provide a detailed description of your recommended evidence-based strategy to implement telehealth
Provide rationale supporting your strategy
Include current evidence from the literature

Part 1 
M.S. is a 26-year-old woman who is pregnant with her first child. Her husband accompanied her to all her prenatal visits. An ultrasound during a routine visit at 34 weeks’ gestation revealed that the baby had hydrocephalus and a myelomeningocele. The parents were initially devastated but remained very excited about the birth of their first child. M.S. was scheduled for a cesarean section at 38 weeks’ gestation, and the couple was anxious about their child’s condition and care following birth. 
M.S. delivered a baby boy by cesarean section; he was transferred to the pediatric intensive care unit. On admission to the nursery, the baby’s vital signs and weight were within normal limits, but his head circumference was large. He had bulging fontanelles and a high-pitched cry. The nurse noted a saclike projection in the lumbar region of his spine. 
Provide responses to the below based on Part 1. 
Discuss the rationale for delivering the infant by cesarean section. 
Discuss the significance of the infant’s clinical manifestations. 
Discuss the acute and long-term treatment strategies for the infant. 
Discuss the complications associated with myelomeningocele.
