Ann E Fronczek et al. Nurs Sci Q. 2019 Oct.

Abstract

Advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) are in an excellent position to provide leadership for advancing telehealth initiative. King's social system concepts of role, status, authority, power, and decision-making may be explored in this context. The authors of this article provide insight into the leadership opportunities in telehealth that exist for APRNs in current healthcare systems through a King perspective. The authors discuss some of the major challenges for APRNs in telehealth and how leadership may overcome some of those challenges.

Keywords: King; nursing leadership; nursing theory; telehealth; virtual care.
