One potential ethical issue with telehealth delivered care is the lack of personal interaction between nurses and patients. Technology-mediated communication can be impersonal, which could impede a nurse’s ability to establish a therapeutic relationship with their patient. Additionally, in some cases it may be difficult for nurses to assess physical symptoms (e.g., pain) remotely from other locations due to technical limitations, making proper diagnosis more challenging than when conducting an in-person examination.
Another ethical concern is confidentiality issues surrounding data storage and transmission. Telemedicine platforms must ensure that all health information shared via video or phone calls remain secure and confidential even if transmitted over public networks like the internet or mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets. Furthermore, since especially sensitive types of patient health information are common during virtual visits, nurses need to make sure they educate themselves on how these regulations apply and adhere strictly to them while providing telehealth services responsibly
