This system is based on patient–nurse interaction and can provide timely health guidance to patients in any area of residence. Because of the increase in the rate of non‐communicable diseases, the World Health Organization established and adopted a resolution (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">WHA</jats:styled-content>58.28) to promote the e‐health program, which uses <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">ICT</jats:styled-content>. This strategy, which was introduced throughout the world from the 1990s up to 2000, was used for the healthcare of patients with chronic diseases and pregnant women and was implemented through cooperation with various professionals. A telenursing practice model has been reported along with the principles involved in its implementation.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title><jats:p>Telenursing and telehealth are effective in decreasing the costs borne by patients, decreasing the number of outpatient and emergency room visits, shortening hospital stays, improving health‐related quality of life, and decreasing the cost of health care.</jats:p></jats:sec>
