Virtual Nursing - Caregility

A Hybrid Care Strategy that Benefits Patients and Clinicians

Working remotely from home or from an on-premises centralized virtual care center, Virtual Nursing introduces an expert clinical resource for patients and care teams.

Accessing the patient’s bedside using bidirectional telehealth, virtual nurses help assess, educate, and monitor patients throughout their inpatient care journey. Virtual nurses take on tasks that don’t require hands-on care, so floor nurses are free to focus on more complex patient encounters.

Benefits of Virtual Nursing

Caregility Cloud™ brings together clinically designed software applications, AI-ready telehealth devices, and sophisticated clinical notification and administration features that help you easily set up and scale your Virtual Nursing program. Optimize programs with integrations to your EHR, clinical decision support tools, connected medical devices, and more.

Virtual nurses can support structured workflows as well as alert bedside teams when patient deterioration is detected. Bedside vLert buttons allow patients and novice staff to request virtual nurse assistance when needed.

For Patients

  • Empower patients with access to remote, round-the-clock support
  • Improve patient safety through AI-enhanced clinical interventions
  • Minimize variation in patient care through more focused workflows

For Clinicians

  • Reduce staff burnout with AI-assisted virtual workflow support
  • Improve staff onboarding, training, collaboration and experience
  • Support career extension for nurses who otherwise may leave

For Health Systems

  • Deploy a high-quality, cost-effective alternative to travel nurses
  • Modernize care to boost patient satisfaction, safety, and quality metrics
  • Easily scale programs to extend workforce resilience to additional areas
