This paper describes the ICN eHealth Programme in terms of its vision and goals. ICN advocates for nurses and nursing worldwide and recognizes that all nurses can benefit from knowledge about and use of information and communication technology in their practice setting. The three primary elements of the eHealth Programme (Connecting Nurses, Telenursing, and ICNP) will continue development and collaboration both within ICN and with the worldwide health care community.
