Our virtual wards enable early supported discharges via a virtual remote monitoring service for patients who could be clinically managed at home.
The virtual ward model was successfully trialled to support early and safe discharge (step down) for Covid-19 patients in Hampshire Hospitals. The initiative has already been implemented in some parts of the country where it is having an impact in reducing emergency admissions.
The enhanced monitoring provided by the virtual ward gives confidence to discharging clinicians and patients that they will be safely ‘cared for’ virtually during the ‘step down’ process.
Patient feedback
Our virtual wards help patients make the most of every precious day. Here is some feedback below...
"I would like to thank every member of the virtual wards team that looked after my mum during what was a very difficult and worrying time. The virtual wards team gave me the confidence and support I needed to care for mum at home and provided a secure stepping stone from hospital to getting her back home and under the care of the GP."
