Industry experts to share insights and perspectives to support AvaSure’s continued expansion in the virtual nursing market
BELMONT, Mich., May 17, 2023 — AvaSure, the inventor of the TeleSitter® solution and the market leader in acute virtual care and remote safety monitoring, announced today that it has established a Chief Nursing Executive (CNE) Advisory Board.
The CNE Advisory Board comprises an inaugural group of ten healthcare and nursing industry leaders who will assist AvaSure to continue bringing value to the acute care market by providing an informed view of industry trends and emerging customer needs.
“We’re thrilled to welcome such a distinguished group of nursing leaders who will share their diverse insights and perspectives to support AvaSure’s continued expansion in the virtual nursing market,” said Adam McMullin, CEO, AvaSure. “We look forward to collaborating with this talented group of nursing authorities to advance new models of virtual nursing care.”
Leveraging their vast experience and expertise in virtual care, the CNE Advisory Board will develop critical guidelines and recommendations to help the healthcare industry achieve clinical, financial, and operational advancements through virtual team-based care including nursing and sitting.
The ten members of the board bring decades of knowledge and experience from across a wide spectrum of the nursing industry:
Robyn Begley, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN, CEO of the American Organization for Nursing Leadership (AONL) and chief nursing officer, SVP of workforce for the American Hospital Association (AHA)
D’Andre Carpenter, DNP, RN, senior vice president and enterprise chief nurse executive, UnityPoint Health
At a recent working meeting, the dialogue centered around how virtual sitting and virtual nursing represent key components of transforming care delivery.
“There are not enough nurses to meet our needs in the current model,” said Howell. “As nurse leaders, we must take the lead in redesigning care delivery or someone else will do it for us.”
“Our goal is to create a care delivery model in such a way that nurses wouldn’t want to practice in any other way,” said Carpenter.
Additionally, nurse leaders discussed how previous approaches to addressing staffing challenges are no longer viable given today’s macroeconomic climate – necessitating deeper investments in technology to close the gap.
“We are still suffering from the same problems we had ten years ago: nurses are stretched too thin, resulting in frustration and burnout,” said Rhine. “Virtual care finally offers us a path towards a sustainable labor solution.”
“The last few years have been the most challenging of my career, but also the most rewarding,” said Rudisill. “By pioneering new models of virtual care, we are creating a connected purpose to unite clinical and information technology teams behind the shared goal of exceptional patient care.”

Third-generation nurse recognized for constantly seeking new ways to improve processes and transform safety standards
BELMONT, Mich., May 10, 2023 — AvaSure, the inventor of the TeleSitter® solution and the market leader in acute virtual care and remote safety monitoring, announced today that Chief Clinical Officer Lisbeth Votruba, MSN, RN has been named among Becker’s Hospital Review’s 2023 “Patient Safety Experts to Know.”
As a third- generation nurse, self-proclaimed “nurses’ nurse,” and nurse executive, Votruba has dedicated her career to the continuous improvement of healthcare and the empowerment of the nursing community and the patients they care for.
Most recently, Votruba elevated her leadership by leveraging technology and innovation to put nurses and their patients at the center of the solution, reducing nurse burnout, improving outcomes, and driving high-quality, value-based patient care.
“Nurses show up to work every day thinking about the best ways they can deliver compassionate care to make a difference in the lives of their patients,” said Votruba. “It is my great honor and calling to support these hard-working professionals who form the foundation of American healthcare.”
Votruba’s primary goal is to advance her vision to revolutionize inpatient care delivery with the addition of virtual technology. Partnering with 36% of academic medical centers and 67% of the largest U.S. health systems, she guides the delivery of inpatient telehealth solutions that have provided safer environments for over 1.5 million patients. She pioneered video monitoring of fall-risk patients and has led several research studies regarding fall risk reduction, the mitigation of workplace violence, and managing behavioral health patients in acute care. Under Votruba’s direction, AvaSure has expanded its own nursing staff to 15% of the employee base to support the change management needed to ensure positive patient outcomes are achieved.
The individuals honored in Becker’s 2023 “Patient Safety Experts to Know” list are noteworthy proponents of patient harm reduction, disease management, disaster preparedness, and more, according to Becker’s.
These healthcare providers, experts, researchers, and executives value patient safety above all. For these patient safety experts, the improvement of the patient journey is of the utmost importance, as they are constantly seeking new ways to improve processes and transform safety standards.
“There is no one more deserving of this award than Lisbeth,” said Adam McMullin, CEO, AvaSure. “She dedicates herself tirelessly to advocating on behalf of nurses, their patients, and our partners, and we’re proud that she has been recognized by Becker’s for this enduring commitment.”
