AI-powered virtual nursing

A Virtual Nurse is a Registered Nurse who operates remotely via the AvaSure platform to offload clinical tasks from bedside staff, allowing them to spend more time at the bedside with patients. Core responsibilities include admissions, discharges, medication reconciliation, patient and family education, hourly rounding, dual verification, specialty consult coordination, and documentation. Virtual Nurses can also support novice nurse mentorship, multi-party family calls, and care coordination across units.

No. Virtual nursing was designed to support bedside nurses, not replace them. AvaSure’s platform enables virtual nurses to conduct patient admissions, discharges, education, and ongoing monitoring remotely. The platform reduces the burden on bedside nurses by offloading administrative tasks to virtual care teams, helping health systems extend nursing capacity without adding headcount.

52% of nurses are considering leaving the bedside. Virtual nursing addresses the nursing shortage by offloading documentation burden, enabling remote mentorship of novice nurses, and reducing RN overtime.

Virtual nursing improves patient and clinical outcomes by reducing RN overtime, EHR documentation time, patient length of stay, RN traveler hours, and more. Virtual nursing programs have seen documented outcomes that include 11.6% reduction in length of stay, 65% reduction in RN traveler hours, 26% reduction in RN overtime, and 9% decrease in EHR documentation time.

Yes, nurses broadly support virtual care — especially when solutions are designed with clinical input. AvaSure’s clinical team is built entirely by nurses, for nurses, with 100% active RN licensure across the team. Led by Chief Clinical Officer Lisbeth Votruba, MSN, RN, FAONL, CAVRN, and the Chief Nursing Executive Advisory Board, AvaSure’s nurse-led experts design virtual care tools that reduce burnout rather than add to it — resulting in a platform nurses can trust and embrace.
