Articles written in English and published within the last five years (2018-2023), as well as entire articles containing the term "Telehealth Readmission" are then chosen using the PRISMA 2020 flowchart, based on title, abstract, and outcomes. The selection stage is completed by combining research findings using a systematic review approach. Result: Searches for publications in various databases yielded 24,687 items, and after filtering, 10 articles that met the research objectives were obtained. Conclusion: According to the findings of ten articles, telehealth interventions could significantly lower readmission rates.
