Episode 5: Virtual Nursing: a hybrid care approach to acute patient care
Amwell partnered with a few of its clients to share the strategy, successes and lessons learned from their hybrid care transformation journey. During the month of August 2023, we featured Wellstar Health System, an organization leading the way in their hybrid approach to patient care in acute settings.
As one of the largest health systems in Georgia, Wellstar serves patients in a variety of specialties, from primary to cancer care at over 300 facilities in North and West Georgia. As an institution committed to compassionate, customized patient care, Wellstar sought to launch a virtual nursing program that could not only support their existing team of in-person nurses, but could improve the patient experience and deliver another level of the personalized care they seek to provide to all patients who walk through their doors.
In this webinar, Susan Thurman, chief nursing officer at Wellstar Paulding Hospital, discussed how her organization is building their virtual nursing program as part of a broader hybrid care strategy, and how they hope to see the program grow in the future. Watch this webinar to learn how Wellstar is
- Thinking strategically about virtual nursing, and incorporating it into a broader hybrid care strategy in the future
- Utilizing technology and existing partnerships to better enable virtual nursing and collaborate with their inpatient nursing staff
- Improving the patient care experience and supporting existing nurses through their hybrid care approach
