Summary
Palo Alto, CA, October 04, 2023 --( PR.com )-- PocketRN, a telehealth platform that enables patients and caregivers to receive ongoing and on-demand care at home from expert nurses, today announced the publication of findings in the Journal of Medical Internet Research from its clinical study in conjunction with Stanford Health Care . The study aimed to demonstrate safety, quality, feasibility, and positive provider and patient experience while reducing the administrative burden on in-person staff, integrating with existing clinic workflows, and giving patients access to additional resources and support.“Our latest findings show that implementing a virtual nursing care delivery model is clinically appropriate and did not reduce patient quality, experience or outcomes,” said Dr. Samuel Thomas, chief medical officer of PocketRN, and co-author of the paper. “Two nurses in the study without an option to work in-person were able to provide clinical care at the top of their license on our platform, and nurses had greater job satisfaction being able to spend more time providing the empathetic coaching and teaching we love to provide–to both patients and caregivers in the comfort of their homes.”Key Results from the study:98% patient satisfaction. Met patients where they were by gaining additional insights from conversations in the home about what matters to them most and identifying barriers. General nurses were able to meet most patient questions and concerns driving cost reduction by alleviating burden on specialty nurses.To read the full study and publication, please visit this link at the Journal of Medical Internet Research here: https://formative.jmir.org/2023/1/e43258 About PocketRNPocketRN is a telehealth platform that allows patients, families, and caregivers to video-chat Nurses with the right expertise from the comfort of their own home.
