Empower your team with new ways to deliver hybrid care.
As health systems look for new solutions to improve patient outcomes and address the ongoing staffing crisis, Virtual Nursing is creating a new path forward.
A Virtual Nursing strategy allows care teams to bring experienced, remote nurse resources into clinical workflows to augment and support bedside staff and improve patient coverage and safety. Working remotely from a centralized hub supported by video-based bidirectional telehealth at the patient’s bedside, virtual nurses help assess, educate, and monitor patients, taking on tasks that don’t require hands-on care, so floor nurses are free to focus on more complex patient encounters.
