E-Medicine and Telehealth Nursing

Telenursing is the effective use of technology to deliver nursing care and carry out nursing practice. Although the use of technology changes the delivery medium of nursing care and may necessitate competencies related to its use to deliver nursing care, the nursing process and scope of practice does not differ with telenursing. Nurses engaged in telenursing and e-medicine practice assess, plan, and evaluate the outcomes of nursing care, but they do it all with the help of interactive technologies such as the internet, computers, telephones, digital assessment tools, and telemonitoring equipment.
