The Exec: At Atrium Health, Virtual Nursing Increases Patient Satisfaction, Decreases Falls And Medication Errors

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Virtual nursing saves each floor nurse about two hours each day from not having to mask- and gown-up to treat infectious patients.

With virtual nursing, Atrium Health has seen a 56% reduction in the number of call bell responses.

The virtual nurse can assist the floor nurse, physician, pharmacist, or any care provider who comes into the patient’s room.
