“…In long-term care settings, 79% of nursing homes have partially implemented telehealth (Alexander et al, 2021). Examples include engaging residents’ families in care planning sessions, palliative care, or increasing clinical coverage on evenings and weekends (Babcock et al, 2021; Grabowski & O’Malley, 2014).

Avoidable hospitalizations among nursing home residents result in poorer health outcomes and excess costs. Consequently, efforts to reduce avoidable hospitalizations have been a priority over the recent decade. However, many potential interventions are time-intensive and require dedicated clinical staff, although nursing homes are chronically understaffed. The OPTIMISTIC project was one of seven programs selected by CMS as “enhanced care & coordination providers” and was implemented from 2012 to 2020. This qualitative study explores the perceptions of the nurses that piloted a virtual care support project developed to expand the program’s reach through telehealth, and specifically considered how nurses perceived the effectiveness of this program. Relationships, communication, and access to information were identified as common themes facilitating or impeding the perceived effectiveness of the implementation of virtual care support programs within nursing homes.
