Telehealth is defined as the use of telecommunications technologies to provide clinical health care at a distance. It allows nurses to assess, diagnose, and treat patients using telecommunications technology. Telehealth has expanded access to care for rural communities by enabling virtual visits and remote patient monitoring. The evidence shows that telehealth improves health outcomes for patients in remote areas by overcoming barriers to accessing specialists. A recommended strategy is for healthcare organizations to implement telehealth programs that use remote patient monitoring for chronic disease management in rural communities, as studies have found it reduces hospitalizations and healthcare costs while improving patient outcomes and satisfaction.
