We are also excited to introduce Together Team - a new and innovative care model that reimagines traditional patient care. Utilizing technology, we are able to add a Virtual Nurse ( vRN ) to the care team, who is able to communicate directly with patients via an in-room TV monitor. This creates a three-pronged support structure for both patients and their families.

The vRN brings expert level support to the bedside, and is able to perform specific nursing care duties, including responding to patient calls; offering guidance/mentorship on the spot to the bedside RN; providing education to patients and families; and alleviating the administrative burden related to admissions and discharges. This model allows bedside RN\'s and CNAs to spend more time with their patients, improving patient safety and experience.
