Industry experts and healthcare leaders agree that virtual nursing is essential for the future of acute care. However, while 74% of hospital leaders believe virtual nursing will become integral to inpatient delivery, only 10% have fully standardized these programs within their operations.
To help organizations move beyond the cycle of perpetual pilots, this whitepaper provides a strategic roadmap for scaling virtual care across the enterprise. Drawing on the successful journey of Hackensack Meridian Health (HMH), we explore how to overcome critical barriers in organizational alignment, staffing, and funding.
