The survey of 100 hospital leaders found that just 13% have used virtual nursing technology in their organization. Additionally, more than a third of leaders, 35%, said that the value of virtual nursing was overstated, according to a Dec. 13 Panda Health report. 

Despite the current low rate of virtual nursing adoption, 31% of hospital executives said they would be using the technology by the end of 2024. Nineteen percent of hospital executives said that the effect of virtual nursing is understated in value.
