This widely researched study probes what happens when technologies are used to provide healthcare at a distance. Drawing on ethnographic studies of both patients and nurses involved in telecare, Jeannette Pols demonstrates that instead of resulting in less intensive care for patients, there is instead a staggering rise in the frequency of contact between nursing staff and their patients. 'Care at a Distance' takes the theoretical framework of telecare and provides hard data about these innovative care practices, while producing an accurate portrayal of the pros and cons of telecare.Care & welfareHome care servicesTechnological innovationsMedical ethicsMedical informaticsTelecommunication in medicineHome care servicesTechnological innovations.Medical ethics.Medical informatics.Telecommunication in medicine.362.14Pols J(Jeannette),1966-801308UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK996201681403316Care at a Distance1802651UNISA
