Improving Access to Care: Virtual Nursing in Rural and Underserved Areas

Rural hospitals often struggle to recruit and retain specialized staff due to geographic isolation and lower salaries. Virtual nurses working from urban hubs can provide expert consultations, and guide local staff, ensuring patients receive timely, high-quality care without long-distance travel. Virtual nursing allows off-site professionals to handle tasks like patient triage, documentation, and discharges, freeing on-site staff to focus on hands-on care. This division of labor improves efficiency and reduces stress, fostering a sustainable work environment.

In this informative webinar, we examine how virtual nursing bridges gaps in healthcare access and review case studies of successful implementations.
