The virtual nurse has been successful in adult hospitals but has limited utilization in pediatric hospitals. With a review of evidence and extensive planning, Nemours Children’s Health created an enterprise virtual nursing model. This presentation’s purpose is to share the process of introducing the virtual nurse, highlighting the involvement of clinical nurses, administrative requirements, job description, fiscal impact and outcomes. The presentation will review the responsibilities of the virtual nurse including completion of admission and discharge processes, patient education, chart audits, emergency response and mentoring. Finally, the presentation will highlight how the incorporation of the virtual has positively contributed to outcomes related to nurse and patient satisfaction with decreased readmission rates and improved communication with non-English speaking families.

Hospitals have an obligation to provide health-promoting meals for inpatients, outpatients, staff, and visitors. Healthy meals should be high in fiber, low in saturated fat and cholesterol, nutrient dense, and proven to manage and reverse chronic disease. Plant-based meals can meet these goals and should be the primary focus for patient meals. Some diet orders may need special consideration, and plant-based meals can fit into these diet orders with some planning. To make menu changes at a health care institution, it is important to identify allies, work as a team to develop new recipes and taste test meals, and educate all staff on the importance of healthy meals. Resources and recipes are available at the Physicians Committee’s Healthy Hospital Program webpage.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the importance of health promoting meals in the hospital setting
- Understand how plant-based meals can fit into specific therapeutic diets
- Learn about practical examples and tools for institutions to implement plant-based menus
