Telehealth Programs Improve Symptom Management at Home

Patients often experience symptoms at home, between clinic visits, when healthcare professionals can’t directly observe, assess, or advise the best interventions to address them. Nursing practice is at the core of symptom management, and the profession can extend itself into the home with telehealth programs. With an intimate knowledge of patient symptoms and struggles, nurses can help guide the development of new systems to connect with patients at home.
