Describe one method that includes using evidence-based data to support a new or innovative ways to care for the aging now or in the future. How will it impact care and what are the anticipated outcomes?

Telehealth is one method which uses evidence-based information to support innovative and new ways of caring the elderly population. The technology allows older people to have access to remote healthcare, so they can receive their care at home without needing to wait in lines or travel. This technology can help improve the outcomes of patients by providing them with timely access to specialist care while reducing associated costs such as travel or accommodation fees.

Video conferencing or secure messaging platforms simplify the communication process between healthcare providers and their patients, encouraging a greater level of active engagement. The caregivers can also better understand how the patient is following treatment plans, allowing them to provide more effective care for chronic diseases. This will ultimately lead to improved health outcomes for people who are unable to or do not want to attend regular medical appointments because of physical limitations.
