Telehealth in the Community

Telehealth is an information system that transmits some level of clinical data electronically from where the patient resides to a practice site for use by the health care provider (Dansky, Vasey, & Bowles, 2008). Telehealth systems range from data communicated via telephone lines to Internet and video connections that allow for visual and audio assessments. Home telemonitoring is a disease management approach that allows the timely transfer of data and immediate response to that data. One of the major advantages of telehealth is this consistent monitoring and the ability to respond to changes in symptoms and adjust treatments. A search of Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) for research related to telehealth in the years 2006 to 2008 revealed a wide range of use of the telehealth approach to care. Journal articles dealt with chronic physical and psychological conditions, as well as with counseling programs.
