Virtual nursing is an innovative way for remote nurses to assist clinical nurses at the bedside. The program helps support nursing workflow and retention, decrease burnout, enhance patient care and improve outcomes. The Sharp HealthCare Virtual Nursing Program launched as a pilot on select units at Sharp Memorial Hospital and has since expanded to all inpatient units at the hospital. Patient and family advisors provided insights as the program was developed at the Brown Simulation Center at the Sharp Prebys Innovation and Education Center.
