TL;DR
Nurses recognize the value of telecare and telehomecare as essential components of telenursing that give patients easy access to high-quality care and eliminate costs and difficulties associated with travel to healthcare facilities.
Abstract
Telenursing was instituted as an effective mode for providing care to patients geographically distant from healthcare providers. Using telecommunications and information technology, nursing care is provided remotely to individuals. Nurses recognize the value of telecare and telehomecare as essential components of telenursing that give patients easy access to high-quality care and eliminate costs and difficulties associated with travel to healthcare facilities. Patient satisfaction with telenursing is related to prompt quality care from professional nurses. Telenursing continues to grow as a valuable method for providing nursing care, especially in home healthcare.
