Virtual nursing has gained tremendous momentum over the past few years. But that doesn’t mean the C-suite, particularly finance, will automatically buy into a program’s value. There’s still that big lingering question: Where’s the ROI? Linda Lockwood, RN, MBA (Senior Advisor, AVIA Health) encouraged nursing leaders to start with four simple questions when putting together a virtual nursing business case: 1. What is our goal with virtual nursing?? 2. What is the problem we're trying to solve?? 3. What is it going to feel like for our nurses and patients?? 4. What is the impact we're going to make? Involve leadership from the very beginning. At the outset, share the vision and roadmap with Finance. Too often, Finance only sees virtual nursing numbers on the balance sheet without additional context. Linda emphasized the importance of establishing buy-in and making virtual nursing part of the health system’s culture. “When senior leadership endorses virtual nursing and says this is a way we’re delivering care. This isn’t a little pilot that we’re doing. This is really our new care delivery system and the virtual nurse is going to be a piece of that.” Start with those four simple questions. Involve the leadership/finance team. Then, be clear on what you’re going to measure. The KPIs should directly link back to the problems you’re trying to solve. Finally, understand that all of the value isn’t going to happen immediately. Measure what you can right now. Share the program’s success stories. But keep in mind the ROI will continue to increase as the program scales across the entire health system, not just 1 or 2 pilot locations. #nursing #virtualnursing #healthcareROI #digitalcaretransformation #healthsystems

At Equum Medical, we’re excited to introduce our Admission Decision Support (ADS) program?, a transformative service model designed to assist bedside providers, families, and healthcare institutions in making crucial decisions regarding patient admissions. Read more about this service delivery model here: https://lnkd.in/eAqdv5-Q ?? What is the ADS Program? The ADS program helps answer the pivotal question: "Is this patient safe to be admitted at this facility, or do they require transfer to a higher level of care?" This is often a complex decision that requires a multidisciplinary approach to ensure the best possible care for the patient. ?? How Does ADS Work? Emergency rooms or hospitalists reach out to our specialists for consultations on specific diagnoses. Our experts quickly evaluate whether the patient can safely remain at their current facility or needs to be transferred. And, if transfer is necessary, we remain available for continuous support until the patient’s departure. ?? Tailored Solutions for Your Facility We understand that each healthcare institution has unique needs. Our ADS program is customized, considering: ? The support capabilities of local and neighboring facilities ? Specific intervention or procedural needs factored into the virtual triage consult ? Dedicated Equum providers assigned to each institution, gaining in-depth knowledge of your facility’s culture and capabilities. At Equum Medical, we are committed to providing the expertise and support to make these high-stakes decisions easier, ensuring the safest possible outcomes for patients and optimizing resource utilization for healthcare facilities. Ready to learn more?
