Scaling virtual nursing: Real-world strategies from The Guthrie Clinic


Tuesday, April 15th, 2025 | 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM CT

Scaling virtual nursing is no easy feat. As health systems take pilots to full-scale rollouts, many struggle to standardize workflows, integrate technology and ensure seamless collaboration between virtual and bedside teams. 

In this session, leaders from The Guthrie Clinic share how they successfully expanded virtual nursing across their six-hospital system, reducing clinical burden and improving patient care. They’ll provide actionable insights on optimizing implementation, refining workflows, and ensuring virtual care supports — rather than disrupts — front-line teams. 

Key learning points:
 
  • Overcome common barriers to scale virtual nursing while ensuring a consistent standard of care
  • Cut EHR documentation time to free up nurses for direct patient care
  • Improve job satisfaction and reduce turnover with a reimagined care model
