WHS FOUNDATION TELENURSING

Telenursing in telemedicine involves the delivery of nursing services remotely using technology.

  1. Remote Consultations: Nurses provide care through video calls, phone calls, or chat. They assess patients, answer questions, and provide education.
  2. Monitoring: Telenurses may monitor patients’ vital signs and health metrics through wearable devices or apps, ensuring ongoing care without the need for in-person visits.
  3. Patient Education: Nurses educate patients about their conditions, treatment plans, and self-care practices, often using digital resources.
  4. Care Coordination: Telenurses help coordinate care among different providers, ensuring that patients receive comprehensive treatment.
  5. Follow-Up: They conduct follow-up appointments to check on patients’ progress and adjust care plans as needed.
  6. Documentation: Nurses document interactions and patient progress in electronic health records (EHR) for continuity of care.

Telenursing enhances access to healthcare, especially for those in remote areas or with mobility challenges, while ensuring patients receive timely support and education. Additionally, telenurses provide round-the-clock patient monitoring.
