Description
Veronique Nabelsi, Marie Chantal Leclerc, and Veronique Plouffe interview staff about night teleconsultation in rural care homes in a 2024 pilot study. Quebec faces night nurse shortages in small long-term care centers. A provincial pilot put remote consultation into rural homes. Three small facilities joined over six months.
Eighteen interviews covered nine nurses and nursing assistants. Teleconsultation added value across clinical and organizational practice. Some workflows stayed unchanged, showing stable routines. Expanded scope of practice kept care continuous and safe at night. Collaboration patterns shifted with remote nurse access. The small rural setting, under fifty residents, frames the results. Staff experience was the primary evidence gathered. The authors report the pilot as promising for coverage gaps. Wider rollout would need the same workflow care. Night safety in remote homes is the policy prize.
