About The Position
Sentara is hiring a Wound Care RN for the Innovative Inpatient Care Model in the Brand-New Centralized Virtual Acute Care Department. This position is NOT Remote and is located at the Sentara Independence office in Virginia Beach, VA. Leverage the use of technology to enhance patient care in the hospital and provide support to nurses at the bedside. Virtual RNs can support the team at the bedside to alleviate the workload and provide greater satisfaction for both the patients and the nursing staff. They handle administrative tasks that take significant time but don’t require hands-on care. This improves workflow while ensuring patients are fully informed about the care they have received. Virtual nurses are not a replacement for bedside nurses, instead they serve as an additional member of the hospital care team. Bedside nurses and virtual nurses work together to ensure that patients continue to receive the safest and highest quality of care. Patients communicate with virtual nurses via a HIPAA compliant audio-visual device in the hospital room. Perform nursing duties via video call with this innovative care model from the Virtual Care hub call center such as admissions, discharges, patient teaching, medication reconciliation, and much more. One of the most exciting advancements this year has been the rollout of our Virtual Nursing program. The feedback from both patients and our nursing staff has been overwhelmingly positive. By embracing this model, we are minimizing interruptions, enhancing privacy, ensuring patient safety, and improving the overall patient experience. Sentara Independence provides quality outpatient services to the surrounding community. The facility includes an ambulance-accessible emergency room that is supported by board-certified physicians.
