Virtual Nursing Adoption, Best Practices and Market Trends
Lessons and perspectives from organizations considering virtual nursing for broad care team transformation models
The current adoption trajectory shows that 2024 will be the first year that a majority of U.S. hospitals and health systems have a virtual nursing program in place. In the past few years, virtual nursing infrastructure and processes have been introduced to support hundreds of nursing units across the U.S., and many more organizations have expanded upon their initial efforts. This gives organizations exploring virtual nursing today an unprecedented opportunity to learn from those before them. These lessons enable organizations to accelerate their strategy, helping them to take swift and confident actions to adopt hybrid nursing staffing models as an instrumental part of addressing workforce challenges.
