Content: Telenursing removes the burden of distance and transportation, therefore increasing care beyond the number of beds in a hospital, providing access to patients with mobility problems, and even reducing response times. Additionally, telenursing reduces costs by allowing patients to self-test, structuring treatment sessions that seamlessly fit a caregiver’s workflow, and sorting patients according to urgency before they show up at a care facility. Nursing Informatics
Nursing informatics merges nursing science with information management and computer science. It identifies, manages, and communicates patient care or provider data, along with the resultant insights, to both the patient community and the broader medical practice. Nursing informatics develops more efficient processes that can provide more complete care and result in better patient outcomes. Nursing informatics is quickly becoming an integral part of public health and national healthcare policies. For example, electronic medical records (EMRs) log patient data from multiple entry points and collect it into a single platform that can provide a more complete patient picture. That data can then transition between different facilities and care teams. With this data, providers can inform more complete diagnoses, and targeted interventions and patients can make informed choices about their health. On a broader scale, aggregated and anonymized health data can be analyzed for broader trends in public health, which may, in turn, lead to better health outcomes for entire populations.
