A Feasibility Study for Developing a Multidisciplinary Post Discharge Cardiac Care Telehealth Program.
A literature review chapter within a 15k word feasibility study
that aims to assess the viability of a telehealth program for cardiovascular medicine (CVM) and cardiothoracic surgery (CTS) patients that will reduce the
number of readmissions to the hospital and improve the patient’s post-discharge experience.
Chapter Two – Literature Review (a critical debate of what is already known about the focus of your proposed intervention/ service development/ project e.g.
the topic/ client group etc., and its context, as well as a critical review of project management including potential project management frameworks/ models )
• Chapter introduction
• Databases searched- identify how you obtained the literature reviewed in this chapter.
• Key literature critically discussed in terms of any relevant theory, and content. This should be organised into themes. This can be done by the use of subheadings (but not too many in order to allow for the depth of discussion required),and be related to your specific area that your intervention/ service
development/ project relates to and project management.
• Summarise the justification for your choice of intervention/ service development/ project arising from your findings from the literature reviewed. Identify
how the literature informs your intervention/ service development/ project
