Abstract
Tele-nursing is the use of telecommunications technology to provide nursing practice at a distance. This can be something as simple as faxing medical records to the more complex delivery of nursing care to patients' home through the use of cameras and computer technologies.
In many countries, Telenursing joined part of the routine of nursing, offsetting the change, improving the quality and encouraging further collaboration between different health professionals to reach the target that is the common wellness of the patient.
In other countries such as Italy, the Telenursing constitute a lifeline, but it is unfortunately not very common.
Taking into account data on future population growth, of the aging of population and new laws of retirement, you should seriously consider this new type of assistance that would help the Italian health system. For this to happen, however, you need to inform, educate and motivate the organizational models already in place to use this tool.
