The telehealth quality nurse's role is to provide virtual care clinical quality within their licensure and scope of practice — including clinical quality review, quality metrics, clinical documentation review, quality improvement support, clinical compliance support, and quality reporting.

• Supporting clinical quality improvement projects — identifying opportunities and supporting implementation.

Clinical judgment, quality expertise, and clear communication are essential — telehealth quality nurses are the clinical quality professionals who help the organization deliver high-quality virtual care.
