Telehealth Nurses are nursing professionals who provide care and support to patients remotely using technology such as video conferencing, phone calls, and online monitoring tools. They play a vital role in assessing symptoms, managing chronic conditions, and offering health education without requiring patients to visit healthcare facilities physically. This remote approach improves access to quality care for people in rural areas, those with mobility limitations, and individuals seeking timely medical advice. Telehealth Nurses help triage patient concerns, provide guidance on medication management, and promote preventive health practices, enhancing patient safety and reducing unnecessary emergency visits.
These nurses work across diverse settings, including hospitals, clinics, telehealth companies, and insurance providers. They collaborate closely with physicians, specialists, and other healthcare team members to develop comprehensive care plans tailored to individual needs. Telehealth Nurses also contribute to shaping telemedicine policies and protocols, ensuring ethical and effective use of digital tools in healthcare delivery. By combining clinical expertise with technology, they foster improved patient engagement, continuous monitoring, and equitable access to healthcare services. Telehealth Nursing continues to evolve as a crucial component of modern healthcare, expanding the reach and quality of nursing care beyond traditional settings.
