From Physicians Weekly:
Video consultation (VC) in healthcare offers a promising solution for providing accessible emergency care in rural areas. However, its effectiveness in ensuring patient safety and inclusion remains an area of ongoing research.
Researchers conducted a retrospective study to examine patient experiences of emergency care via VC in northern rural Sweden.
They concluded that patients in rural areas felt included in VC-based healthcare; the nursing profession played a crucial role in ensuring successful consultations, highlighting the need for robust education and support for RNs.
