When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

How can you reliably provide cardiopulmonary care for patients virtually? What types of remote monitoring devices can you use to diagnose cardiopulmonary complaints? What cardiopulmonary conditions can be assessed without a clinic visit? In this course, we’ll be focusing on protocols and practical tips to perform a reliable remote cardiopulmonary assessment. Building on your clinical knowledge, we give helpful ways to modify your practice to suit the context of a telehealth video visit.

This course will cover many of the areas you’d want to assess after the reporting of a cardiopulmonary complaint. We’ll provide methods to assess respiratory status, jugular venous pressure, and strategies and benefits for remote patient monitoring. To bring it all together, we’ll also provide tips on how to use common wearable devices to gain insights that can help accurately identify maladies and patient status. This course doesn’t assume any previous experience with telehealth or specific technologies but will rely on your previous experience with physical assessments. Whether you are adept at performing telehealth visits or a complete novice, this course contains practices and expert guidance to positively benefit your practice.

Module details

Welcome to the course! First, we’ll introduce some basics of Coursera and then move onto the telehealth strategies for cardiopulmonary assessment. This module reviews the logistics of performing a virtual assessment of respiratory status, heart rhythm, jugular venous pressure, and practical tips for accurate data collection using technology that patients are likely to have on-hand.
