KEY TAKEAWAYS
The virtual care model consists of a primary nurse that sees the patient in person, a patient care assistant, the provider, and then the virtual nurse who sits in between.
The primary nurse can delegate tasks such as admissions and discharges to the virtual nurse to reduce their stress and workload.
The virtual nurse also helps support new nurses and provide a second set of eyes.
