Abstract
Home health care in the USA is one of the most rapidly growing segments of the health-care market. Telehealth seeks to reduce some of the inefficiencies of home health care in various ways, including replacing certain nursing visits with video visits, collecting vital-signs data remotely, improving medication compliance and patient education. The use of telehealth in home health-care settings will provide a means of interacting in a client-centred manner, promoting client autonomy through education and improved communications.Keywords
