Scientific Sessions

This session explores the expanding role of telehealth and virtual nursing in transforming care delivery, improving access, and supporting patient engagement across diverse healthcare settings. As digital health technologies continue to evolve, virtual practice has become an essential component of modern nursing. Key topics include tele-triage, remote patient monitoring, virtual assessments, digital communication tools, and best practices for delivering safe, effective, and patient-centered care at a distance. The session will also highlight regulatory and legal considerations, documentation requirements, digital literacy, data security, and strategies for maintaining therapeutic relationships in virtual environments. Participants will gain insights into integrating telehealth into clinical workflows, optimizing patient outcomes through technology-enabled care, and overcoming challenges such as digital barriers, patient privacy concerns, and system interoperability. Case studies will demonstrate how telehealth innovation enhances continuity of care, supports chronic disease management, and extends nursing reach into homes and communities.
