Learn how one healthcare system developed a cutting-edge virtual nursing model that shares patient care responsibilities with the unit’s registered nurse. This successful model includes developing workflows to improve focus on direct patient care, the use of simulation labs to identify and resolve potential issues, and a phased pilot approach on identified units. Attendees will better understand how virtual nursing positively impacts patients, families and staff, particularly in areas such as patient education and timely admissions and discharges, and how the model is adaptable to various nursing settings, aiming to improve overall patient outcomes and retention of skilled nurses as integral members of the care team.
