Contextually distant

Lack of understanding of the patient experience in nursing practice occurs when nurse and patient are contextually distant.

What is the meaning of the phrase "contextually distant" in the above context?

I read the above at nursing times website.

This is a vague, undefined term. Possibly they want to say that nurses are more likely to misunderstand how patients feel when the nurse and the patient come from different backgrounds.
