Summary
Continuous Remote Patient Monitoring (CRPM) with virtual nursing shows promise for improving patient outcomes and reducing hospitalizations. Addressing challenges like alert fatigue and data management is key for successful implementation.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Delivery Models
- Digital Health
- Nursing Informatics
Background:
- The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated alternative healthcare delivery models, driving the development of Continuous Remote Patient Monitoring (CRPM).
- CRPM enables real-time monitoring of high-risk patients, easing hospital resource strain.
- Integrating virtual nursing into CRPM enhances remote care but introduces challenges in patient safety and nurse staffing ratios.
Conclusions:
- Virtual nursing within CRPM offers significant potential for improving patient outcomes and reducing hospitalizations by extending inpatient-level surveillance into home settings.
- Addressing data management, clinician workload for 24/7 monitoring, and sustainable funding are crucial for successful integration into routine practice.

01:30Pulse rhythm
Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac muscle...

01:23Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring
Holter monitoring is a continuous electrocardiography (ECG) recording that tracks the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, generally 24 to 48 hours. This noninvasive diagnostic tool detects irregular heart rhythms that may not be captured during a standard ECG performed in a clinical setting.DeviceThe Holter monitor is a portable, small device connected to several electrodes on the patient's chest. These electrodes detect the heart's electrical signals and transmit them to the...
01:30Current Trends in Nursing II
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

01:15Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model
The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic illness...

01:25Dysrhythmias VII: Nursing Management of Dysrhythmias
Nursing management of dysrhythmias involves the following:AssessmentSubjective Assessment:The initial step involves gathering patient-reported symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, and chest discomfort. It is crucial to collect a detailed history, including previous heart conditions, current medication use, and lifestyle factors like caffeine and alcohol consumption.Objective Assessment:This involves observing clinical signs such as jugular venous distention, cool and pale skin, and...
