**Overview****_THIS POSITION IS NOT REMOTE_****The 3B Medical Surgical Unit is now part of the Virtually Integrated Care model.** **Benefits of Virtually Integrated Care (VIC) for Clinical Staff Members are outlined below:**Saint Joseph Hospital has introduced a new way of providing care. The “Game Changers” on 3B are working with the team at CommonSpirit Health to bring Virtually Integrated Care to SaintJoseph.+ The new model consists of a team with a registered nurse, licensed practical nurse and an advanced patient care technician as well as a virtual RN.+ With this new model, nursing managers and clinical caregivers will have additional support 24/7 with the leadership of the Virtually Integrated Care RN.+ The VIC RN can intervene in situations to avoid the need for service recovery, decreasing the need for nurse managers to be pulled into a situation.+ The VIC RN also can listen to the patient and/or family to address any concerns when it does become a service recovery issue.+ Nursing managers who have been involved in similar virtual care programs have reported increased job satisfaction.+ The increase in patient/family satisfaction has cut the amount of time nursing managers have had to devote to interacting with upset patients and family members.+ The virtual RN also can assist nursing managers when IRIS reports are being reviewed, and also to follow up for failed plan of care achievement and other situations.+ Virtual RNs can also function as a peer evaluation for new nurses freshly off orientation, allowing them to share with leaders and educators what the novice nurse is doing well and also where they could use support.+ The virtual RN serves as the immediate bedside leader and support for the team; the nursing manager and director team retains decision-making and overall leadership of the unit.+ This new nursing model will elevate the nursing manager role by directly leading a skilled team focused on patient and peer satisfaction, quality, safety and continual problem-solving when barriers arise._CHI Saint Joseph Health provides you with the same level of care you provide for others.
