How Can Virtual Nursing and Remote Patient Monitoring Impact Healthcare Delivery?

The Nurse Keith Show

On episode 461 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews Maggie Lajaunie, BSN, MBA, RNC-NIC and Blaire McElroy, BSN, RN of Veta Health, a healthcare technology company focused on virtual nursing, remote patient monitoring, and other cutting-edge approaches to care delivery.

In the course of their conversation, Keith, Maggie, and Blaire discuss how these care delivery models impact patients through empowerment and access. They also underscore the importance of including nurses in the early phases of developing new virtual programs, how nurses find themselves in unique and nontraditional roles in these technology-related spaces.

Blaire joined the Veta Health team in November 2020 with 10+ years of healthcare experience specializing in cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, and ICU. Blaire also worked in community health, assisted living/acute rehab, and palliative care. She has a passion for education and served as a preceptor for many students and nurses over the years.

Maggie joined the Veta Health team in January 2023 with 16 years of experience in telehealth strategy and implementation, rural outreach growth strategy, and hospital nursing operations with HCA Healthcare. While most of her career has been focused on high-risk maternal care and NICU service lines, Maggie has also supported projects in critical care, psychiatry, and pediatrics, and completed the Quality University program at HCA Healthcare. She’s led nursing teams of 100+ FTEs and brings experience in balancing clinical quality with operational efficiencies while creating positive and inclusive nursing cultures.
