A Conversation About Virtual Nursing and AI in Healthcare

LookDeep’s Holly Lorenz, Narinder Singh, and Tiffany Wyatt hosted a webinar exploring the evolving challenges in nursing, focusing on the integration of virtual nursing and AI. Persistent issues like staff shortages and rising patient acuity highlight the need for nurse-driven solutions that balance technology with human-centered care. Virtual nursing, while not replacing bedside decision-making, can streamline administrative tasks, improve hospital throughput, and enhance mentorship. Successful adoption requires gradual implementation, involving frontline nurses to ensure scalability and reduce skepticism. AI plays a key role by providing actionable insights that prioritize patient needs and improve outcomes without overwhelming staff. As hospitals adopt hybrid staffing models and AI-driven solutions, virtual nursing is poised to improve patient outcomes, nurse satisfaction, and create new career paths, shaping the future of healthcare.
