The Nexus Bedside Approach
How The Team-Based Approach Works
Through our solution, responsibilities are divided among three roles – a virtual nurse, nursing aid, and bedside nurse. All three work together seamlessly, particularly the virtual and onsite nurses, ensuring far more efficient, comprehensive patient care. Here’s how it works…
Virtual Nurse
The Virtual Nurse takes charge of critical aspects such as admission history, initiation, and coordination of admission orders, medication reconciliation, care coordination, team rounds, patient monitoring, patient and family education, discharge orders, and follow-up.
%
The VN performs 90%+ of the electronic medical records documentation.
Aide/Tech
The nursing aid complements both rolls and contributes to patient well-being by managing patient-to-room orientation, monitoring vital signs, providing assistance with bathing, dressing, toileting, feeding, transport, and collectively ensuring a comprehensive coordinated approach to patient care.
Onsite Nurse
Now alleviated of 90% of daily clerical and ancillary tasks, on-site nurses focus on pivotal roles, like initial assessment, skin checks, assessing lines, tubes, and drains, medication and chemotherapy administration, blood transfusion, IVs, and final assessments.
%
Onsite nurses can now accept up to 3 times as many transfers.
The innovative Nexus Bedside approach leads to:
Better outcomes
A single team of experienced virtual and onsite nurses improves outcomes by reducing safety events and average length of stay. Your nurse managers and directors of nursing will oversee care delivery and quality, in keeping with your standards. We will recruit and schedule nurses to fill all shifts for the unit. No more scrambling to fill in nurses due to call-offs.
Improved nurse experience
This intelligent nursing care model cares for nurses while they care for patients. The hybrid work schedule gives nurses a respite from the physical aspects of their job by alternating between onsite and virtual shifts all the while remaining part of a single care team. Nexus Nurses™ can select from at least 5 different weekly schedules ranging from 20 to 40 hours per week. Over a year, the flexible schedule offers millions of different alternatives to fit every need.
Improved patient experience
Permanent-placement, experienced nurse teams facilitate exceptional patient experiences. Nexus Virtual Nurses™ provide near-immediate response times, increase admission throughput, and facilitate patient and family education and discharge planning. Onsite nurses, in turn, can focus on hands-on care and spend more time with the patients and less on documentation.
Economical workforce solution
Nexus Nurses™ reduce expenditures on travel nurses, turnover costs, and premium pay, resulting in a cost-effective solution to the ongoing nursing shortage. Our workflow also reduces the average length of stay, reducing costs and improving the bottom line.
