A nurse specialist talks about the findings of a recent AvaSure survey that indicate virtual nursing has a lot of potential and is already producing positive outcomes for nurses and the bottom line, even if it hasn't taken off in acute inpatient care yet.
According to a new study, "The Virtual Care Insight Survey," from AvaSure, a provider of virtual nursing technology and services, only 10% of hospital leaders and 14% of hospital IT leaders have reached the point in 2024 where virtual nursing is a standard component of care delivery; in both groups, 30% reported no virtual nursing.
However, despite the delayed progress toward virtual nursing maturity, 74% of hospital leaders—up from 66% in the previous year's survey—think virtual nursing is or will become essential to acute inpatient care care delivery models.
On behalf of AvaSure, Joslin Insight collaborated with the American Organization for Nursing Leadership to conduct "The Virtual Care Insight Survey" online. In order to provide a longitudinal view of how attitudes and tactics are rapidly changing in virtual nursing, this poll was a follow-up to one conducted eighteen months prior.
