KEY TAKEAWAYS
Virtua Health is investing in people, infrastructure, and culture to prepare and upskill nurses as robotics expand into more complex and high-volume procedures.
Robotics can also significantly improve nurse safety during surgery by improving ergonomics and creating more predictable workflows, while also reducing physical strain in the OR.
CNOs who want to incorporate robotics into nursing workflows must focus on adapting care models and staffing to maintain quality and continuity.
