Telehealth nursing.

Telehealth nursing, or telenursing, is the practice of specially trained nurses using audio and video technology and advanced digital and optical communications to deliver health care. This type of health care is usually in the form of care management for emergent or chronic conditions, coordination of care, and health maintenance services. It is beneficial to both the patient and the nurse; the patient benefits from increased access to healthcare services, while the nurse benefits from a more flexible and less physically stressful work environment.
