Trinity Health implements virtual nurse program to address nurse shortage

For 79-year-old Jim Hunter, it’s been 2 weeks in the hospital at Trinity Health Ann Arbor. While registered nurse Jeanne Patton is there for physical care, another registered nurse Kayla, provides virtual care. It’s part of the "TogetherTeam Virtual Connected Care" program that’s been in place for almost 3 months at the Ann Arbor hospital. 66 rooms across 2 units are equipped with the technology, while 2 to 3 virtual nurses work out of a control room in the building.

If the for profit hospitals would pay nurses similar to doctors than they wouldn't have a nurse shortage.
