Virtual technology has the power to revolutionise the way healthcare is delivered. Innovations such as telehealth, remote monitoring and digital communication are shifting the dial from reactive care in traditional settings to proactive care closer to the community.
Done right, this shift could improve patient outcomes, enhance patient access and increase operational efficiencies, while also aligning services with the government’s vision for the future of healthcare – from “hospital to community”, from “analogue to digital”, and from “sickness to prevention”.
This HSJ webinar, in association with Doccla, looked at how healthcare providers can better use virtual care. It discussed:
- Which care pathways are most suited for using virtual care to shift from reactive to proactive
- How to get buy-in from key stakeholders for adopting virtual solutions into care pathways
- What pitfalls to look out for when implementing virtual care and how to make sure virtual care delivers the benefits intended
- How and why Hertfordshire Community Trust has implemented a virtual care pathway to treat heart failure in the community
