A HospitalRoom.org working definition, not a published standard. Answer for the room
as staffed at night, not as demonstrated at noon. Record who owns each condition
(nursing, IT, facilities, biomed, compliance).

## Endpoint

Question: Can a remote nurse see, hear, and be seen/heard clearly from the patient and caregiver zones without improvising hardware?

- [ ] Present
- [ ] Partial
- [ ] Absent
- Evidence:
- Owner:

## Network

Question: Does the room keep a usable two-way session through a busy shift, and is there a documented fallback when the link drops?

- [ ] Present
- [ ] Partial
- [ ] Absent
- Evidence:
- Owner:

## Workflow

Question: Are specific tasks assigned to the virtual nurse, with a hand-off the bedside team actually uses at night as well as at noon?

- [ ] Present
- [ ] Partial
- [ ] Absent
- Evidence:
- Owner:

## Integration

Question: Can the remote nurse chart, review orders, and escalate into the room's communication stack without a human relay?

- [ ] Present
- [ ] Partial
- [ ] Absent
- Evidence:
- Owner:

## Governance

Question: Are licensure, consent/recording, privacy indicators, and the assist-model staffing rules written down and enforceable across sites?

- [ ] Present

## Working rule

Endpoint and workflow must both be at least Partial before calling a room virtual-nursing ready. A camera alone is a video visit. All five Present with no minutes returned to the bedside team is still a failed program.
