The Virtually Integrated Care SM (VIC SM ) is a transformational model of care delivery offered by CommonSpirit Health that provides 24/7 virtual access to highly experienced RNs for patients and the bedside care team. With the VIC SM program, the patient experience is enhanced and the interprofessional care providers are supported with time-consuming care activities such as charting, discharges, admissions, care coordination, and patient education (just to provide a few examples) leading to a reduction in nurse turnover, enhanced operational efficiency and unparalleled quality in patient care delivery. This is realized through a care delivery model that seamlessly integrates the virtual nurse as part of the interprofessional team. The virtually integrated care SM nurse is integral in facilitating the care delivery model.
