Topic: Role of Telehealth technology in nursing
Introduction
Telehealth technologies include the delivery of health-related services as well as
information through the assistance of telecommunication and the virtual technologies.
Telehealth technologies are helpful for the long-distance patient who are unable to go
into the hospital for treatment. Nowadays, telehealth is very important in healthcare and this
technology also involved in improving patient care. So I choose this Telehealth technology
topic for my research.
I am interested in this topic for my research because telehealth nursing primarily
includes patient care, patient education and consultation. And this type of nursing care
technologies can apply any location through the help of the internet, and video conferencing.
I am primarily using secondary qualitative data sources such as research paper,
research articles for my research.
For my research, I mainly use Google Scholar, NCBI and PubMed because these
databases are preferred by different researcher worldwide, and this database contains a large
no of the research paper, research articles and several journals that are useful for my research.
I primarily use Telehealth, eHealth, Nursing and Telemedicine search keywords for
my research.

among the individual, community and health care system. And the primary purpose of the
study includes the movement of telehealth education in the nursing practice.
According to the source, the telehealth technology has a remarkable impact on patient
safety and quality care. A nurse who is practising with telehealth technologies should have
different types of ability for using telecommunication technology as well as cooperative with
other health care professional. They also play an essential role in caring for the patient,
managing several data and making several decisions during the worst situation.
According to the article, this telehealth technology is beneficial in traditional nursing
care. This paper mainly focuses on the patient who is suffering from diabetes. And this
condition is continuously monitoring with the help of telehealth technologies. Telehealth
technology primarily also an approach of an educational system that is established by the
health care professionals in a rural area and as well as it is a lucrative system for patient care.
I select this topic for my research because this article focuses on the role of the
telehealth technologies in nursing practice as well as patient care and this also conclude that
how telehealth technologies are improving patient care who suffers from diabetes, high blood
pressure and high blood glucose condition. And the article also comprises of the different
benefits of telehealth technologies over patients, community as well as the various health care

perspectives. Advances in medical education and practice, 8, 399.
In this article, the article primarily focuses on by providing low-cost health care
practices to the patients who are in long-distance with the help of telehealth technologies.
And these technologies are also essential for nursing practitioners. And the purpose of the
article includes developing the knowledge, skills and attitudes that are needed for telehealth
technologies.
According to the article, telehealth technology reduced the complexity of patient care
and patient monitoring. Telehealth usually comprises of all the technological uses to join with
the patient as well as practitioners about health care monitoring and health care delivery
process. Moreover, telehealth technologies and forward technologies are responsible for
remote transfer of diagnostic data of a patient from one location to another for assessment
purpose.
Telehealth technologies have a good impact on nursing practice and patient care.
During the nursing practice, the usage of telehealth technologies increases the advanced
training of nursing care as well as increase knowledge and skills, which are essential for
patient care. And the educational programmes also focus on the understanding of telehealth
for health care as well as skills development, which even necessary for nurse practitioners.
I select this topic for my research because of the telehealth technologies changed the
modern health care system. And the nurses who are practising with the telehealth
technologies are primarily active contributors to nursing and health care system. The nurse
practitioners must permit with telehealth data and applied skills so that they became an
innovative force in the revolutions of telehealth technologies.

In this article, the article usually focuses on telehealth technologies. Nowadays, nurses
use numerous type of telehealth technologies to distribute health care amenities to their
patient. Primarily the nurses are using a range of modern technologies as an arena of
telehealth for systematic nursing practice. The purpose of this article is to analysis several
conceptual models and frameworks that are useful for patient care, and also to deliver an
existing theoretical model for telehealth in nursing which is responsible for future
improvement.
According to the source, telehealth technology plays a pivotal role in patient safety as
well as patient care. Telehealth technologies are regarded as the secluded transfer of health
care facilities via digital services as well as several digital communication for assessment,
medical decision making, and also providing clinical facilities to the individuals.
According to the article, nowadays, telehealth technologies plays a most significant
role in nursing practice as well as interdisciplinary health care of patients. Nurses have used
digital communication as a form of telehealth to distribute care to their patients very quickly
and easily. And the telehealth technology also provides an array of services that include,
prioritisation of health issues, providing guidance, support as well as care management.

different conceptual models for telehealth technologies, which primarily covers a large
portion of nursing practice and patient care. And the practice of telehealth technologies also
increases in the health care delivery process; simultaneously, it also modifies the nursing
practice into the digital environment.

patient health care more useful and prominent. Telehealth technologies are more effective
through the help of digitally connecting clinicians to patients or even patients to other
patients.
According to this article, telehealth technologies in patient care and nursing practise
plays a crucial portion of this article. This telehealth technology comprises of remote
diagnosis as well as treatment, adjustments of several therapies and mostly the patient
management. And with the help of these telehealth technologies, nurses work more
efficiently by allocating their time to the patient who needs most care and treatment.
I selected this topic for my experiment because of the promise of the telehealth
technologies will be further extended as the devices become handier, and they are also
connected to other tools and the repositories of data. This telehealth technology is also
helpful for the large population of people by improving the quality of patient care as well as
reducing the costs.

Conclusion
After examining all five articles, it can be concluded that nowadays, telehealth
technologies is one of the most essential and handy techniques for patient care. It also plays
an important role in patient management. This telehealth technology increases the health care
delivery process; as well as it also modifies the nursing practice in the digital environment.
For the selection of technology in health care systems primarily depends on several
organisational factors. Such as –
 Continuous modernisation in the customer knowledge market.
 Continuous improvement in health care records as well as medical conclusion
support system.
 Growth of consumerism in the health care system by increasing patient
expectations.
 And, it also depends upon the several training processes as well as employee
empowerments programme.
The implementation of modern technology in nursing progresses nurses effectiveness,
and it is also shifting the approach of health care for patients. Implementation of
advanced technology in nursing is the consequence of collaborations between technical skills,
principles and communal approval in the working atmosphere.
