Abstract : Nursing practices are being revolutionized by telehealth, a technology that is redefining healthcare delivery and enabling nurses to visit patients at home, in underserved areas, and in remote locations. Telehealth enhances patient empowerment, early detection of health problems, proactive management of chronic illnesses, and prompt intervention. Nurses are essential to telehealth, bridging geographic barriers and advancing health equity. Despite obstacles such as data confidentiality, training, and the digital divide, telehealth in nursing offers advantages such as improved patient outcomes, decreased medical costs, efficient monitoring of chronic conditions, and seamless communication between patients and healthcare teams.

Keywords : Telehealth, Nursing, Telemedicine, Healthcare Services.
