What is a virtual patient observer?

A Virtual Patient Observer is a healthcare worker who monitors patients remotely, usually through cameras and audio systems, to ensure their safety and well-being. Their primary responsibility is to watch for signs of distress, falls, or other safety concerns and alert on-site staff if immediate assistance is needed. This role helps prevent accidents and provides an extra layer of supervision in hospital settings, especially for patients at high risk of injury. Virtual Patient Observers play an important part in improving patient outcomes and supporting hospital staff.

How does a virtual patient observer typically collaborate with on-site healthcare staff during their shift?

A Virtual Patient Observer works remotely to monitor patients via video feeds and communicates directly with on-site nurses and care teams when safety concerns arise. Effective collaboration involves promptly reporting patient behaviors such as potential falls, wandering, or removal of medical devices, and maintaining clear, concise documentation of incidents. The observer is part of a broader patient safety strategy and regularly participates in handoff reports, shift briefings, and feedback sessions to ensure seamless care. Building trust and communication channels with the on-site staff is essential for timely interventions and optimal patient outcomes.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a virtual patient observer, and why are they important?

To excel as a Virtual Patient Observer, you need sharp observational skills, attention to detail, and basic healthcare knowledge, often supported by a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with remote monitoring systems, video surveillance tools, and secure communication platforms is typically required. Strong communication, critical thinking, and the ability to remain calm under pressure are standout soft skills for this role. These competencies ensure patient safety, quick response to emergencies, and effective collaboration with clinical staff in a remote monitoring environment.

Where You'll Work

The Women's Services department at Holy Cross Hospital-Mountain Point has 10 LDRP rooms, one triage room, 6 OB/GYN rooms, and 4 level 2 nursery beds. We deliver an average of 85 babies each month, 34 weeks and above. Our diverse patient population loves coming to Mountain Point because of our walk-in tubs, complimentary massages, celebration meals, beautiful and spacious rooms, fantastic mountain views, and knowing they stay in the same room from admission to discharge. We pride ourselves on excellent patient experiences that cater to their preferences in a safe, comfortable environment.

All nurses work shifts as mother-baby nurses and specialize in either labor or level 2 nursery. Our nurses must be flexible as their assigned area may change from shift to shift, or throughout a shift. Our labor patients are staffed one-on-one, except cervical ripenings are one to two. Mother-baby assignments are staffed by three couplets to one nurse. The level two nursery is staffed by one nurse to two babies. However, patient acuity may change the nurse-to-patient ratio.

Because we all work together in one department, we work together well and know how to assist with patient care in the other specialty. We have a wide spectrum of experience and encourage questions and learning. Our employees can become instructors, serve in the Shared Governance Council, or contribute to other councils and projects. National certification is highly encouraged and supported. We want employees eager to learn, personable, self-driven, and work well in a team environment. We also value loyalty and commitment to the overall department and hospital objectives which center around ministering to our community and one another.

Unless directed by a Collective Bargaining Agreement, applications for this position will be considered on a rolling basis. CommonSpirit Health cannot anticipate the date by which a successful candidate may be identified.
