Lisbeth shares insights from her nursing background and discusses the impact of virtual nursing at AvaSure, including its success in improving patient care and cutting costs. They also explore future healthcare trends like hospital-at-home models. Tune in for a down-to-earth discussion on the changing face of healthcare. Takeaways: Virtual nursing is a transformative solution that improves patient care, reduces costs, and addresses nursing shortages. The adoption of virtual nursing has become mainstream due to the increasing demand for healthcare services, nursing shortages, and the need for nurses to work at the top of their license. Virtual nursing can be implemented tactically to address specific pain points, such as falls and one-to-one sitters, and can evolve into a comprehensive virtual care platform integrated with artificial intelligence and electronic health records. Nurses transitioning to virtual care should start with small steps, such as delegating admissions, and gradually expand their virtual nursing practice. Measuring outcomes and conducting research are essential to demonstrate the effectiveness of virtual nursing and drive its adoption in healthcare organizations. Virtual nursing has the potential to revolutionize healthcare delivery, enabling hospital at home and improving access to specialized care.
