Telehealth Competency Scoping Review for Health Workforce Education

31 publications from a search of 3,189 peer-reviewed works and 7 grey literature items form the basis of this scoping review on telehealth curricula. Sharon Brownie authored this work, which follows JBI methodology and was last updated in March 2026. The analysis maps competencies for telehealth clinical encounters, including call management and communication.

Use Cases

• Identify core telehealth competencies for curriculum development based on the mapped call management and communication themes.
• Benchmark existing nursing education programs against the identified essential inclusions for telehealth.

Strengths

• Searched multiple databases (Medline, CINAHL, Scopus, etc.) and grey literature in June 2024-Jan 2025.
• Analysis is based on 31 included publications identified from an initial pool of 3,196 items.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 24.2 KB DOCX file, indicating a very limited scope, likely a summary document rather than raw data.
