Technology in healthcare has proved immensely helpful for Liam’s obesity treatment. EHR helped improve outcomes by keeping a record of Liam’s health condition and treatment plan, as well as tracking progress. It allowed us to make informed decisions regarding Liam’s health among various healthcare providers (Hinchliffe et al., 2022). The exchange of information and tracking enabled timely educational learning sessions and reduced medication errors due to lack of information and miscommunication. Further, telehealth and Telemedicine have improved the outcome of Liam’s obesity treatment and management. Telehealth allows video conferencing, reducing travel time and in-person visits costs (López et al., 2022). As Liam was concerned and inconsistent with in-person visits due to socioeconomic concerns, he could stick to follow-ups with various healthcare professionals.

Moreover, learning sessions regarding telemedicine greatly influenced Liam’s treatment and leveraged outcomes through remote monitoring of factors like physical activity, sleep cycle, and his cardiovascular condition. He could track his nutritional plan and medication adherence utilizing mobile apps and features for instant tracking and recording of his pulse, heart rate, and steps in a day (Selfridge & Dennis, 2021). Liam said that he could use his mobile for better purposes, and it also motivated him to communicate his emotional response toward his goals through open communication with the nutrition and fitness trainer after educational sessions.  

Capstone Project Planning and Implementation Influenced by Health Policy

Health policies have a pivotal role in shaping actions in the healthcare system. It allows for addressing different aspects of the healthcare system, such as physical, mental, social, and economic aspects that impact health outcomes. Liam’s case is also supported by various healthcare policies that guide nurses and other healthcare professionals in providing support in all required areas to improve Liam’s quality of life and enhance his satisfaction regarding the treatment plan. Firstly, the American Nursing Association (ANA) Code of Ethics guides healthcare professionals, including nurses, to demonstrate compassion towards patients (like Liam) by providing personalized care, education on healthy lifestyle choices, and social support (Ernstmeyer & Christman, 2022).

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) supports research and education on obesity, guiding healthcare professionals. It provides resources for evidence-based information and treatment strategies to help Liam manage his obesity and reduce associated health risks. Further, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) improves accessibility to healthcare services, including preventive care and obesity treatment (Rdesinski et al., 2023). Liam benefited from ACA provisions that cover obesity screening, counseling, and interventions, reducing financial barriers to healthcare and supporting his weight management journey.

There are multiple programs by the Obesity Medicine Association (OMA) that provide continuous support and medical guidance for individuals like Liam. The Obesity Society (TOS) also provides education and support like OMA through resources for healthcare professionals, improving Liam’s health outcomes and well-being (Clayton et al., 2023). Obesity Action Coalition (OAC) telehealth initiatives are another important policy focusing on telehealth services, enabling Liam to access motivation, support, and guidance remotely (Rubino et al., 2020). Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines emphasize inclusive weight management strategies and promote healthy behaviors and awareness.

It assists healthcare professionals in guiding Liam’s treatment plan, encourages sustainable lifestyle changes, and empowers them to make healthier choices (CDC, 2022b). Lastly, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) ensures patient privacy and confidentiality, allowing Liam to share personal health information securely with healthcare providers. This protection fosters trust and communication between Liam and various healthcare providers, facilitating effective obesity management and treatment (CDC, 2022a). 

Role of Nurses in Implementation

Nurses play a central engagement in carrying out the interventions and utilize several healthcare policies to benefit patients like Liam, ensuring a holistic plan is provided. Firstly, they utilize ANA to provide compassionate, personalized care, ensuring Liam feels supported and empowered throughout his journey. Nurses leverage their expertise to educate Liam about health
