摘要
Background: The aim of this research project was to explore the impact of telehealth technology on health assessments performed by nurses delivering health services to isolated populations. Method: Nurses performing preoperative and oncology assessments for clients in remote communities via telehealth received training. Education workshops were delivered to nurses (N = 37) in 13 communities across Northwestern Ontario. Results/Conclusion: Presurveys and postsurveys indicated that the nurses were receptive to the mode of delivery and the content was relevant to their telehealth practice.
