Telenursing refers to the use of information technology in the provision of nursing services whenever physical distance exists between patient and nurse, or between any number of nurses. As a field, it is part of telemedicine and has many points of contact with other medical and non-medical applications, such as telediagnosis, teleconsultation, and telemonitoring. The field, however, is still being developed as the information on telenursing isn't comprehensive enough.
Telenursing is growing in many countries because of the preoccupation with driving down the costs of health care, an increase in the number of aging and chronically ill populations, and the increase in coverage of health care to distant, rural, small, or sparsely populated regions. Among its many benefits, telenursing may help solve increasing shortages of nurses; reduce distances and save travel time, and keep patients out of the hospital. A greater degree of job satisfaction has been registered among telenurses.
