Below is an outline for guidance that can help in creating your outline project. In the past students get
caught up in the sentence part of the assignment. I know the instructions say to have:
Full-sentence outlines are often accompanied by an APA reference list on a separate page. Quotes
within the outline must also utilize in-text citations in the current APA format.
The intent is to provide a sentence or a quote to help outline a subject. For instance, if in your
introduction you what to define change management. You can use a direct quote of what change
management is but I'm not looking for your paper. An outline is to help you layout how you want to write
your paper and keep your focus on the topic. Please do not stuff your paper into the outline, e.g., full
paragraphs of quotes or your annotated bibliography.
Example of an Outline Structure:

(2016). Patients’ satisfaction with and preference for telehealth visits. Journal of
general internal medicine, 31(3), 269-275.
In their study, Polinski, Barker, Gagliano, Sussman, Brennan, & Shrank (2016) aimed to
evaluate the patient’s preference and satisfaction with telehealth visits. The researchers examined
how the patients rated their visits to CVS MinuteClinics. They utilize a cross-sectional survey to
evaluate patient satisfaction. Only patients aged 18 years and above and those who presented
sustainable symptoms were allowed to visit MinuteClinics, which offered telehealth. Some of the
main measures used in the research include gender, age, availability of the insurance cover, or
primary care provider. The patient’s satisfaction was rated with seeing and hearing the remote
practitioner, seeing diagnostic images, hearing or seeing the assisting on-site nurse capability,
convenience, quality of care, and overall understanding. Moreover, trey patients were allowed to
rank their telehealth in comparison with the traditional visits. Polinski et al. (2016) used a
multivariate logistic regression tool to analyses their data. Out of 3303, only 54 percent (n=1734)
completed the survey, where 70 percent were women. Between 94 and 99 percent of the
participants were very satisfied with telehealth visits. The researcher found that lack of
healthcare cover increases the chance of people to seek telehealth services, and most of the
women were more satisfied with telehealth compared to their male counterparts. Some of the
determinants that pushed for telehealth included the quality of care received, continence, and
overall understanding. Therefore, the researcher concludes that patients were more satisfied with
telehealth visits.

professionals’ perspectives about factors influencing the use of telemedicine in
diabetes management. World journal of diabetes, 9(6), 92.
In their study, Ayatollahi, Mirani, Nazari, & Razavi (2018) aim to evaluate the
perspectives of the Iranian healthcare professionals about the factors that influence the use of
telehealth in diabetes management (DM). The researchers used the quantitative method of
research to collect, analyze and interpret their data. In this study, Ayatollahi et al. (2018)
included 55 physicians and 240 nurses from three teaching hospitals and one endocrinology and
metabolism research center. The researchers used no sampling method, but the participant’s
response was rated using the 5 points Likert scale. The participants were required to fill a closed-
ended questionnaire which comprised 37 questions. Mann-Whitney U test was used in analyzing
the data. In their study, Ayatollahi et al. (2018) found that both the nurses and physicians used
telehealth in managing diabetes among patients. However, the findings show that their lower
compatibility between telehealth and clinical activities in managing diabetes. On the other hand,
the attitude of healthcare professionals towards telehealth is lower. Therefore, Ayatollahi et al.
(2018) conclude that despite that telehealth is useful in managing diabetes, it is always important
for the healthcare organization to consider the health practitioners' concerns on its
implementation.
Rho, M. J., Kim, H. S., Chung, K., & Choi, I. Y. (2015). Factors influencing the acceptance
of telemedicine for diabetes management. Cluster Computing, 18(1), 321-331.
Rho, Kim, Chung, & Choi (2015), in their study, were more interested in identifying the
factors that influence telemedicine acceptance for DM. They begin by acknowledging that
telehealth is effective in the management of blood glucose management as well as diabetic
4
complication progression. Its usefulness in DM has been known for a while, but there is little
understanding of various factors that influence its acceptance among patients and in healthcare
settings. Rho et al. (2015) relied on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology
(UTAUT) model to determine the factors that influence telehealth acceptance. The researchers
collected their data using a paper-based survey from 116 patients living with diabetes. The
participants were selected from 6 university hospitals, and they used partial least squares
regression to determine the causal relationship in five variables. The researchers found that some
factors like social influence, effort expectancy, and performance expectancy had a positive
impact on the behavioral intention to the telemedicine service use. the researchers found that
telehealth service use among diabetic patients should be accompanied with service guideline
education and continuous assistance service. Therefore, healthcare organizations need to improve
the support system to encourage the use of telehealth in DM.
Xu, T., Pujara, S., Sutton, S., & Rhee, M. (2018). Peer-reviewed: Telemedicine in the
management of type 1 diabetes. Preventing chronic disease, 15
In their study, Xu, Pujara, Sutton, & Rhee (2018) evaluates the effectiveness of telehealth
in managing type 1 diabetes among the veterans living in rural areas in Georgia and Alabama
who are experiencing several barriers in receiving diabetes specialty. The authors begin by
acknowledging that telemedicine can be a promising solution in helping to improve the
accessibility of the needed health services. The researchers used a retrospective review of the
records of the patients who received care in the Atlanta VAMC endocrinology telehealth Clinic
between 2014 June and 2016 October. Some of the outcomes of the interest in this study
included changes in glycemic control, hemoglobin A1c levels, convenience, cost-saving,
appointment adherence, and patient satisfaction. The researchers found that telehealth helped in
5
the reduction of glucose variability and mean hemoglobin A1c. It also led to a non-significant
rise in the hypoglycemic cycles. Moreover, it saved time and cost wasted in traditional clinic
visits. They recorded 88 percent patient adherence, and all of the patients stated that they would
recommend telemedicine to other veterans. Therefore, this study shows that telehealth is critical
in reducing time, cost-saving, high patient satisfaction, and attaining a high patient adherence
rate.

application of telemedicine for diabetes management in India during the COVID19
pandemic. Diabetes & metabolic syndrome, 14(4), 577.
Ghosh, Dutta, Tyagi, Gupta, & Misra (2020) identify various factors that inhibit the
implementation of DM in India, especially during this period of the Covid 19. The researchers
begin by accepting that the Covid19 pandemic has necessitated the need for telehealth
implementation in managing diabetic patients. In their study, the researchers found that poor
internet connectivity is one of the factors that limit telehealth implementation where some areas
lack speed internet connectivity. Lack of proper hardware like computers and smartphones is
another factor limiting the implementation of telehealth, especially in diabetic patients in rural
areas. Other factors include lack of technological savviness, poor handling of hardware’s like
smartphones, hearing inabilities, among others.

In their study, Zhai, Zhu, Cai, Sun, & Zhao (2014) the effectiveness of telehealth in
managing diabetic patients. The researchers utilized literature review methodology in searching
for the data from other research resources. While conducting the metaanalysis and systematic
review, the researchers considered articles that included participants who were aged eighteen
years and above, were diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. Also, the researchers selected the
articles that were published on February 28th, 2014. They reviewed 47 sources where 35 were
reporting quantitative outcomes for HB A1c and randomized controlled trials. From the chosen
articles, 35 supported that telehealth reduced blood glucose and reduced the cost required in
seeking diabetic specialty care.

management: A systematic review. Diabetes technology & therapeutics, 20(7), 492-
500.
In their study focus on evaluating the economic benefits of telehealth in DM. They focus
on the telehealth cost-effectiveness and quality of care received. The researchers conducted a
literature review to identify existing literature take on the telehealth cost-effectiveness DM. In
their finding, Lee & Lee (2018) the healthcare providers' fee is the major predictor for the total
cost. In particular, the use of telehealth for retinal screening is vital and cost-effective in DM.
The researchers found that teleophthalmology is the most cost-effective technique against other
telemedicine strategies. They found the use of telephone reminders and telemonitoring is cost-
effective in DM.

In their study, Wu, Wu, Yang, Zhu, Zhang, Zhu, & Pan (2018) conduct a meta-analysis
comparing the clinical outcomes for utilizing telehealth in DM. The researchers sourced their
articles from various database searches in PsycINFO, Medline, Embase, Pubmed, and CINAHL.
The researchers include only articles published between Jan 2005 to Dec 2017. The primary
outcomes assessed by the researchers were the change in HbA1c, and the secondary outcomes
comprised of blood lipids, changes in blood pressure, mass blood index, and quality of life. In
their study, Wu et al. (2018) selected 19 randomized controlled trials with 6294 participants. The
findings indicated that effective telehealth is more effective in glycemic control compared to
usual care. The intervention showed that a slight reduction in systolic and diastolic blood
pressure, However no observed changes in BMI control.

So, & Chung (2018) assess the use of telehealth in diabetes self-management. The
researchers outline that diabetes mellitus is a health condition that is prevalent worldwide a
patient with this health condition receives care from the primary care settings. The articles
illustrate that self-management is vital in DM and improving patient wellbeing. The
advancement in technology like telehealth facilitates self-management among diabetic patients,
thus eradicating the need to visit primary healthcare settings. In their study, the researchers found
that telehealth contributes significantly to reducing the level of glycated hemoglobin. The
research findings show that telehealth has a positive implication on diabetes self-management.

In their study, Lee, Greenfield, & Pappas (2018) evaluate the implication of telehealth
glycemic control (GC) in remote type two diabetic patients. The researchers conducted a
systematic and meta-analysis to source data and created an evidence-based telehealth
intervention on GC in diabetic adults. They sourced articles from research databases like
Medline, the Cochrane Library, Embase, and PsycINFO, especially those published between
1990 and 2016. Therefore, Lee et al. (2018) found that telehealth produces small but significant
HbA1c improvement compared to normal primary healthcare management. They found that the
telephone-delivered intervention was effectively followed by the internet-based glucose
monitoring systems.
