New Telehealth Guidelines Published

I came across the latest telehealth guidelines from the American Nurses Association, and it’s fascinating how they’ve incorporated more patient-centered approaches. Who else has seen this? I’d love to hear how you think these changes will impact our daily practice.

I totally agree about the focus on patient-centered approaches. It’ll definitely streamline how we interact with patients through telehealth. But I wonder how we’ll handle the training aspect for some tech tools, especially with older patients.
