Telenursing practice improves access to care, but it also carries barriers to accessing, collecting, and interpreting information because the client is in a different location (NANB, 2020). This may impact the nurse’s ability to provide the required nursing care. Therefore, telenursing may not be appropriate in all situations. Visit When can Telenursing Practice be Considered Appropriate?  for more information.

For additional resources on the provision of safe, competent, and ethical telenursing care, see the NEW Telenursing Toolkit. This toolkit includes the Guideline on Telenursing Practice, an FAQ, a framework for establishing the appropriateness of telenursing, a link to The Essentials of Telenursing Practice webinar, resources to assist in managing risks, as well as resources and a guide for the public.
