In normal home health care, one nurse is able to visit up to 5-7 patients per day. Using telenursing, one nurse can “visit” 12-16 patients in the same amount of time.
Case Management
A common application of Telenursing is also used by call centres operated by manage care organizations.
which are staffed by registered nurses who act as case managers .
Information and counselling as a means of regulating patient access and flow and decrease the use of emergency rooms.
Telephone triage
Telephone triage refers to symptom or clinically-based calls. Nurse perform symptom assessment by asking detailed questions about the patient's illness or injury. The Nurse task is to estimate and/or rule out urgent symptoms.

As new technology emerge, telenursing practices will continue to evolve. The Registered Nurses will have to make certain that they possess the necessary technical clinical knowledge to provide safe, competent, compassionate, and ethical care.We, as nurses, must also keep ourselves abreast to the constant changes in technology that may change the way we take care of our patients.
