One of the major aims of the report was to improve access to comprehensive, high quality healthcare services. It also identified a number of structural barriers to care that have led to disparities in access. These include a lack of access to health facilities and health professionals because of geographical barriers. Telehealth can help to solve this problem by bringing care to underserved communities and individuals. Telenursing allows nurses to facilitate the delivery of care using telemedicine. The idea for a conference, ‘Creating a National Telehealth Nursing Agenda’, emerged from nursing leaders at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) Telehealth Center. They noted that current telenursing activities tend to focus on a specific service or technology, which limits the impact of outcome evaluation and research. Telehealth has tremendous potential as a tool for improving access to health care, particularly in rural populations, and in the care of the elderly and chronically ill. Nurses play an important role in the delivery of clinical services using telehealth. However, despite the efforts of the Nursing Special Interest Group of the American Telemedicine Association and the American Nurses Association, there has not yet been a concerted effort to create a common framework for defining or evaluating telehealth nursing as a practice area. An invitational conference was therefore proposed in order to reach consensus on research priorities amongst those involved in telenursing. The object was to define the research questions to be answered in order to integrate telenursing into the mainstream of healthcare delivery. The conference planning committee consisted of experts in telenursing, nursing and health policy, nursing classification systems and evidence-based practice. The conference was held on 9-10 October 2005 at Mount Aloysius College in Cresson, Pennsylvania.

If you are headed for India, and bump into North America, not to worry; just call it India and call the natives Indians. History abounds in these colorful examples; we seem reluctant to give up our current story on reality and confront the need to write a new story. When we make new wine, we may nervously find ourselves not making new wineskins to contain this delicious brew, but rather “patchin’ up the old wineskins.” My first honest awareness of this pattern was not gleaned from history but rather from my observations of my own tendencies toward an “oh no, not again” response. Having finally understood something (I thought), I was suddenly called upon to revise the entire structure yet again. Atoms are not little clumps of stuff with compliant little electrons running around them on predetermined tracks like marathon runners. Instead, atoms are particles acting like waves and waves acting like particles; they are a cloud with more space than stuff . . . this is all so very worrisome . . . back to the drawing board. I find that my own struggle at least evokes compassion, if not patience.

It is not only to fulfil the duties that you need to finish in deadline time. Reading will encourage your mind and thoughts. Of course, reading will greatly develop your experiences about everything. Reading reflections on healing a central nursing construct is also a way as one of the collective books that gives many advantages. The advantages are not only for you, but for the other peoples with those meaningful benefits.
