Virtual Nurse Becomes New Hospital Reality

Step 4:

Now you can read the answers to the questions and check the answers you were giving. Make sure you also check grammar, spelling, and punctuation of your written answers.

1.Who is Elizabeth?

Elizabeth is a virtual nurse created by researchers at Northeastern University. She helps take patients through the discharge process as they leave the hospital.

2.According to Elizabeth, what is her job?

Her job is to make sure that before patients leave they feel that they have been given all the information they need to help make the transition from the hospital to their home as smooth as possible.

3.What is patients’ opinion about such innovation?

Surprisingly, many patients reported they prefer talking to Elizabeth over an actual nurse or doctor because they didn’t feel rushed or talked down to**.

Talk down to** – speak with insulting condescension
