[Telehealth, what place for the advanced practice nurse?]

Abstract

Remote professional practices or telehealth have been adopted by most healthcare professions around the world. Telehealth is now part of the means available to health professionals to strengthen the quality of pathways. Telehealth is not a substitute for face-to-face exercise but complements it. The relevance of a use of telehealth is the responsibility of the health professional. In this article, we specify the place of telehealth in the professional practice of an advanced practice nurse, whether in private practice or salaried by a care institution.

Keywords: advanced practice nurse; care pathway; infirmier; parcours de soins; pratique avancée; telecare; telehealth; telemedicine; télémédecine; télésanté; télésoin.
