Association of Virtual Nursing and Task Completeness: An Observational Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Higher nurse turnover rates are associated with lower care quality and worse patient and nurse outcomes. Healthcare systems nationwide are implementing virtual nursing (VN), an innovative nursing care model, to reduce nurse turnover. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding the association between VNs and Electronic Health Record (EHR) documentation completeness and care services provided.

Methods

This cross-sectional study examined the association between using VN and documentation completeness and care provided. This mixed-methods study used observational and qualitative evaluation of a VN care team and bedside unit nurses at a major Southeastern hospital in the United States (US). Data collection included direct observation and semi-structured interview
