Telenursing refers to the use of telecommunications and information technology for providing nursing services in health care whenever a large physical distance exists between patient and nurse, or between any number of nurses. As a field it is part of telehealth, and has many points of contacts with other medical and non-medical applications, such as telediagnosis, teleconsultation, telemonitoring, etc.
This helps patient and health practitioners save time. For example, a doctor refer a patient to a hospital located in a different country, the patient does not need to go that country because of the help of telenursing. This will save a lot of time and effort for both party.
