Back to article
Interpretation of scores on the telehealth competency perception scale and level of telehealth preparedness.
| Overall interpretation of the telehealth competency perception scale and telehealth readiness level | 1 to 50 points | Low mastery of telehealth competencies, which in turn is manifested by a lack of preparation for telehealth performance. |
| 51 to 100 points | Moderate mastery of telehealth competencies, which translates into insecurities when implementing telehealth in clinical practice. | |
| 101 to 150 points | High mastery of telehealth competencies, reflecting performance that meets established standards to ensure effective remote care. | |
| Factor 1: perception of telehealth competencies | 1 to 31 points | Little or no mastery of telehealth competencies. There is a lack of knowledge of digital tools, virtual care protocols, remote communication skills, and ethical and legal issues. |
| 32 to 63 points | There is a medium command of telehealth knowledge and skills, which translates into insecurities when providing care under this modality. There are areas for improvement in technical, communicative and ethical and legal aspects of telehealth. | |
| 64 to 95 points | There is a high level of mastery in the use of digital platforms, remote care protocols, effective communication with patients in virtual environments and legal and ethical aspects in telehealth. | |
| Factor 2: perception of telehealth readiness level | 1 to 18 points | Low level of preparation in telehealth. |
| 19 to 37 points | Insufficient level of preparation to perform in telehealth. May require additional training in technical knowledge, use of digital platforms, communication skills in virtual environments, and legal and ethical aspects of telehealth. | |
| 38 to 55 points | Moderate level of telehealth preparedness: Proficiency in the use of technological tools, virtual care protocols, effective communication in remote environments and knowledge of ethical and legal aspects of telehealth. |
