Abstract

Tele-nursing is the use of telecommunications technology to provide nursing practice at a distance. This can be something as simple as faxing medical records to the more complex delivery of nursing care to patients’ home through the use of cameras and computer technologies.Tele-nursing can also provide opportunities for patient education, professional consultations, examination of test results and assisting physicians in implementation of medical treatment protocols. Among its many benefits, tele-nursing may help to solve increasing shortages of nurses; to reduce distances and save travel time, and to keep patients out of hospital. A greater degree of job satisfaction has been registered among tele-nurses. It removes the barriers to health care for people living in remote villages or where adequate health services are not available.
