Background: An essential component of advanced practice nursing (APRN) education includes how to facilitate and adopt telehealth into practice, which includes becoming familiar with what is needed to practice telehealth and how to effectively bill for this service. This article describes the integration of telehealth credentialing, licensing, and billing into a preexisting APRN Role Practicum course.

Method: Participants consisted of two cohorts ( = 129) of APRN students enrolled in a role preparation course within a Doctor of Nursing Practice curriculum. Students' knowledge and perceptions regarding the content of a prerecorded lecture were assessed using a pretest/posttest design. The posttest also included optional module assessment questions.

Results: Student knowledge regarding the information presented increased, and overall student feedback was positive.

Conclusion: Telehealth content was successfully integrated into a preexisting APRN Role Practicum course. Students found the information relevant to future practice and became knowledgeable regarding telehealth laws and regulations. .

Our graduate nursing faculty program conducted a retrospective correlational study to evaluate if the addition of lectures influenced graduate students' learning outcomes.
