Health systems across the country are launching telemedicine programs aimed at improving the nurse’s workload, but both value and sustainability are hard to pin down.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
– Through virtual nursing platforms a nurse in a separate location, such as a nurse’s station or telemedicine center, can handle EMR documentation for several patient rooms, monitor activity, and answer questions from patients, visitors, or staff in the room.
– The program is designed to reduce workflows and stress for nurses on the floor, cutting down on administrative tasks and freeing them to spend more time with patients.
– Supporters say the program can help hospitals with nursing shortages, improve administrative efficiency, and boost clinical outcomes.
