Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to describe how a telemedicine system was used to complete a family and home assessment and to discuss issues facing advanced practice nurses (APNs) when they use such systems in practice. Incorporating discharge care into advanced practice is an increasingly important component of the nursing care given during acute illness.
