Telenursing and Telemedicine Telenursing involves the use of telecommunications and information technology in the dissemination of nursing services. The concept of telenursing is effective particularly when the physical distance between patients and nurses or nurses and nurses is a challenge. Telemedicine involves a remote diagnosis of patients using telecommunications technology (Abo-Zahhad, Ahmed & Elnahas, 2014). The implementation of a telemedicine system through a telenursing has numerous challenges including the system’s security and misuse by patients or nurses. Therefore, the success of a new telemedicine system requires the institution of various measures to improve patient outcomes. It includes raising patients’ awareness and developing partnerships.
