Project Overview
There is an acute nursing shortage in the country that has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Nurse burnout and the ability to therefore recruit and retain nurses are major barriers to having an adequate nursing staff for health system operations. Rural healthcare entities are especially impacted by nursing shortages. Most health systems have turned to innovation and technology to find solutions, however rigorous studies are still lacking. We have designed and implemented a virtual nursing project that will enable remote nurses to assist bedside nurses in order to reduce burnout, improve efficiency, and enhance patient satisfaction.
We are happy to announce the Virtual Nursing pilot went live Monday, March 20, 2023!
