Webinar - Exploring Virtual Nursing Interventions in Acute Care Settings During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic stretched healthcare systems to unprecedented levels, compelling leadership and staff to innovate rapidly under pressure.

The research highlights the integration of telehealth technologies, such as the use of baby monitors for patient interaction, which, while simple, represented a significant shift towards virtual care models. Attendees will explore the evidence supporting virtual assessments and the perceived patient connectedness these methods offer. The session will provide insights into the outcomes of employing virtual nurse interventions and virtual sitter care, discussing their implications for future healthcare delivery. Join us to uncover the lessons learned from this challenging time and how they can inform better healthcare practices moving forward.
