Safety and Health Benefits for Telecommuting Nurses
For years Nurses have provided comfort, contact, and council to the sick, the hurt, and the dying. To do this, they needed to be face-to-face with their patients. Today, many Nurses may still need to have a lot of that face-to-face contact, but there are many times where they may just need to monitor their patients' conditions or perform administrative activities. With today's technology they could perform more and more of their work, both patient-related and paperwork-related from their homes.

Nowadays, it had been made to be a less paper environment because of the different systems that was introduced in our settings, even in local. There is a proposal called home health care system in which clients would not go to hospitals or clinic for consultation,instead they are visited by a healthcare professional/s in their home for consultation.It would mostly benefits the elderly, the young and the chronically ill.It is very ideal for patients with hypertension,alcohol intoxication and even smoke addiction. It has lesser cost in terms of money especially to those who are economically unstable. Furthermore it waste less in terms of time. You can do lots of things instead of going to the health center for a check-up. people might ask about the materials or machines will be used when in home system. Well of course the home must be equipped with the different equipments used for emergency cases. As models of health care delivery continues to change and new technologies emerge, telenursing practice will continue to evolve. In turn, as the scope of nursing practice expands, registered nurses will need to ensure that they need to possess the necessary technical and clinical competencies to practice telenursing safely, competently, compassionately and ethically. -cLaire =))
