Especially due to the pandemic, most of us have had at least one telemedicine interaction – maybe sitting at home talking to a clinician via smartphone app when you have a fever or sore throat.

But virtual interactions can now also be part of your care when you’re actually in the hospital.

In this episode discover how virtual nursing is making acute care more efficient and effective. Michelle Collins, ChristianaCare vice president for nursing professional excellence, and Melanie Ries, a nurse providing virtual acute care at ChristianaCare, are with us to share the positive impact this innovation is having on patient experience, shrinking lengths of stay and enhancing overall outcomes.

Listen as we explore not only what virtual acute care nursing looks like today but how the success ChristianaCare and other health systems are seeing with this work could have future benefits far beyond nursing in the hospital.

Michelle L. Collins leads ChristianaCare's systemwide efforts to support nursing practice innovation and problem-solving. She also has led ChristianaCare to achieve its third Magnet designation, a preeminent excellence designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Only 9 percent of the nation’s hospitals hold the prestigious Magnet designation. ChristianaCare has earned Magnet designation for Christiana Hospital, Wilmington Hospital, Ambulatory Services, and ChristianaCare HomeHealth.
