Telescouting

Nursing in the 21st century uses telecommunications and information technology in the delivery of nursing care.

Tele-nursing expands the scope and demarcation of nursing care delivery to remote and small regions, enables nursing care delivery during the COVID -19 pandemic emergency, addresses the growing nurse shortage and allows the patient to remain in their natural home environment.

Within tele-nursing, the professional roles of the nurse are expanding to include a new role – the role of the telester. There are continuous advances in multimedia, imaging methods, and telecommunications, and they are becoming more affordable, making telehealth increasingly feasible and accessible to the general population. Tele-nursing is an innovative element of remote nursing care delivery and has a rich technological future in patient care.

A new nursing approach implemented in nursing practice presents the views and interest of nurses in its practical application and the implementation of tele-nursing in nursing practice.
