The Role of Medical Nurses in Remote Patient Monitoring and Telehealth.

Abstract

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and Telehealth are transforming the landscape of healthcare delivery by enabling healthcare providers to monitor patients outside of traditional clinical settings. Medical nurses play a crucial role in these innovations, ensuring that patients receive continuous care, managing chronic conditions, and improving health outcomes through virtual consultations and remote monitoring tools. This article explores the evolving role of medical nurses in the adoption and implementation of remote patient monitoring and telehealth, highlighting their responsibilities in patient assessment, education, data interpretation, and care coordination. It also addresses the benefits, challenges, and future directions of nursing practice in the context of telehealth and remote monitoring.
