January 29, 2026- AdventHealth Castle Rock has launched Virtual Admit Nursing, a nursing-led care model in which trained virtual nurses complete or assist with inpatient admissions, allowing bedside nurses to focus on hands-on patient care.
The hospital is serving as the pilot site for both the Rocky Mountain Region and the AdventHealth system, made possible by the rollout of hellocare Smart Room technology in September 2025, to streamline admissions while enhancing the patient experience and supporting nursing practice.
According to Ellery Reed, DNP, RN, Chief Nursing Officer at AdventHealth Castle Rock, the launch aligns with broader advancements in care delivery.
“Virtual Admit Nursing allows bedside nurses to spend more time connecting with patients and providing hands-on care, while also creating more efficient workflows that help the care team meet patient needs more quickly and effectively,” Reed said.
