Abstrakt: Introduction: Virtual care in pediatric specialty practice has become widely used to increase access to care, one in which nurse practitioners (NPs) can play a vital role. We sought to evaluate the outcomes of virtual care provided by pediatric cardiology and electrophysiology (EP) NPs for pediatric and congenital heart disease patients.
Method: Retrospective review of all virtual care visits performed by pediatric EP NPs between October 2019 and October 2021 at a single tertiary care center.
Results: NPs delivered virtual care for 287 pediatric EP evaluations for 276 patients; 132 (45%) independently, with the remaining 155 collaborating with an electrophysiologist as a shared visit. The mean age was 15.2 ± 8.9 years.
Discussion: NPs performed a significant subset of these visits independently and were a vital part of all visits in this study. The role of the NP in specialty pediatric virtual care should continue to be supported and advanced.
