Overview

Digital Health and Public and Community Health provides students with an examination of digital health and its integration in public and community health services. Readers learn how digital health systems and initiatives require engagement from a plethora of stakeholders, individual healthcare providers, and interprofessional teams of healthcare providers, including input from health profession education, communities and government, insurers, health policy, health research, and consumers. The book demonstrates the application of the public health framework to support digital health services, compares different types of digital health services, and discusses the challenges and methods used to ensure the delivery of effective digital services. Students examine the relationship of social determinants of health, health equity, disparities, and vulnerable populations to digital health services. Coverage of the application of digital health services in nursing practice is included, as well as discussion of local, state, and federal government involvement in digital health services. Digital Health and Public and Community Health is part of the Cognella Series on Public and Community Health Nursing, a collection of concise, informative guides that explore critical topical areas, their nursing application, and their relationship to nursing practice.
