What a nurse virtual assistant does day-to-day

Our nurse virtual assistants are not nurses themselves and do not provide clinical judgment. They are dedicated remote medical staff trained to support nursing workflows: routing portal messages by clinical category, drafting refill requests for nurse review, following up on referrals and prior authorizations, preparing charts ahead of nurse-led visits, documenting nurse phone triage notes, and running patient education outreach for chronic-care programs. The goal is to keep your nurses doing nurse work.
