Background: Telehealth is now a necessary component of health care delivery, and its use among health care professionals was accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Problem: Nurse practitioner (NP) programs generally incorporate telehealth competencies within their curriculum, preparing NPs to effectively deliver telehealth and improve health outcomes.

Approach: We developed and implemented a telehealth blueprint to enhance telehealth content within our clinical Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program guided by the Four Ps of the Telehealth Framework planning, preparing, providing, and performance evaluation.

Outcomes: The Four Ps for Telehealth Framework assisted us in scaffolding content across the 3 years of the DNP program. Telehealth competencies were delivered through multiple modalities: online modules, experiential and clinical learning, and discussions of challenges related to telehealth. Students overwhelming reported that they were prepared to use telehealth technology upon graduation.

Conclusions: The Four Ps for Telehealth Framework was used to successfully integrate telehealth content into our DNP curriculum.

In the era of the Internet of Things (IoT), the transmission of medical reports in the form of scan images for collaborative diagnosis is vital for any telemedicine network. In this context, ensuring secure transmission and communication is necessary to protect medical data to maintain privacy. To address such privacy concerns and secure medical images against cyberattacks, this research presents a robust hybrid encryption framework that integrates quantum, and classical cryptographic methods.

The value of 'data-enabled', digital healthcare is evolving rapidly, as demonstrated in the COVID-19 pandemic, and its successful implementation remains complex and challenging. Harmonisation (within/between healthcare systems) of infrastructure and implementation strategies has the potential to promote safe, equitable and accessible digital healthcare, but guidance for implementation is lacking. Using respiratory technologies as an example, our scoping review process will capture and review the published research between 12th December 2013 to 12th December 2023.

The growing global exchange of healthcare data requires more cohesive and effective regulatory frameworks to ensure fair access and protect patient privacy. However, cross-border regulatory rules for healthcare data diverge across countries, such as the EU, which highlights personal data rights and restricts cross-border flow of healthcare data through the GDPR, the United States, which emphasizes the free flow of healthcare data trade or services, and China, which emphasizes cross-border regulatory rules for healthcare data at the level of national data security. Such inconsistent policies often impede international medical research collaborations, undermine the effectiveness of telemedicine, and create barriers for healthcare providers to share patient information.
