As Ai and virtual nursing become industry standards, CNOs must develop strategies to overcome obstacles and ensure the sustainability of the technology.
In the latest edition of HealthLeaders' The Winning Edge webinar series, a panel of nurse leaders discussed the most significant barriers to sustainable AI and virtual nursing adoption, including system interoperability, workflow redesign, staff skepticism, and technical literacy gaps, and practical strategies for overcoming these obstacles.
The panel included three key takeaways: beginning with feedback from nurses at the bedside, overcoming skepticism with defined facts and strategies, and using people-centric metrics when defining ROI.
The Winning Edge for Overcoming Key Barriers to Virtual Nursing Adoption webinar included three experts on the subject: Laura Rashleger, VP Nursing Operations and Virtual Nursing at Advocate Health, Yuri Mykoo, SVP and CNO at Tampa General Hospital, and Dr. Christine Gall, CNO at Collette Health. Tune in to hear their insights.
This webinar was sponsored by Collette Health.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
CNOs should first ask their nurses and frontline staff what pain points they experience in their daily workflows that could be addressed with technology.
Nurse leaders must focus on change management and communicating the reason behind why the technology is being added to the workflow.
CNOs should consider measuring retention and turnover, readmissions, length of stay, throughput, and nurse-sensitive indicators to determine the success of their adoption strategies.
