Abstract
Telehealth is defined as the provision of health care via telecommunications wherever individuals are geographically separated. In this literature review, we explore the role of telehealth in family care. Telehealth has not been fully examined for its potential to support health and healing in families. Moreover, technological innovation, such as telehealth, presents an opportunity to question concepts and approaches to family care.
