Abstract
A literature review was conducted between the months of August 2024 and November 2024 to explore how virtual nursing can improve quality of care. Ten articles focusing on the implementation of virtual nursing were reviewed and analyzed. The purpose of this review is to assist Spencer Hospital in their goals of decreasing the number of staff onsite and offloading the tasks of medication checks, admissions, and documentation to virtual nurses. In the literature review below, we compile resources to explore how virtual nursing influences workflow, patient safety, finances, and satisfaction of both patients and providers. Although many benefits regarding the implementation of virtual nursing have been discussed in the literature, more research must be done in order to better understand the potential of a virtual nurse model, as well as the degree to which it could benefit rural facilities. While keeping these things in mind, a plan was developed to assist Spencer Hospital in the implementation of virtual monitoring as a preliminary step.
