Free event: virtual wards are about more than remote monitoring
With more than 10% of England’s population waiting for care, NHS trusts are under pressure to make a significant dent in their waiting lists. Virtual wards have been highlighted as a key element of the NHS Elective Recovery Plan and trusts have been set the target of creating 24,000 virtual beds by 2023.
In this online event, Infinity Health’s Clinical Director, Dr Jo Garland, and CEO Elliott Engers, will discuss how to take virtual wards beyond remote monitoring into truly wraparound services that coordinate care around the patient and bring multidisciplinary teams together, whether co-located or remote.
Devaneson Robert, Service Admin Manager from London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust’s virtual ward will join to discuss how Infinity has impacted the team’s working practices, improving their capacity to see patients by over 50%.

“Looking after patients in a virtual ward requires more than remote monitoring readings; coordinating the clinical care and team is critical to ensure safety and improve efficiency. To achieve reduction of hospital admissions or length of stay at scale, it is essential to use good technology.”

More about the solution
Infinity Health’s virtual wards solution allows virtual wards to scale so patients can be cared for safely at home instead of in hospital, enabling earlier discharge and preventing admissions.
By integrating with community and primary care providers and unifying disparate digital systems, care can be coordinated seamlessly regardless of location or organisation.
Health professionals can connect and collaborate around care via a shared patient list, and ensure patients are tracked and monitored throughout their journey. The platform integrates with remote monitoring devices and data feeds and patients can submit questionnaires about their progress and symptoms for real-time feedback.
Integration with communications platforms allows clinicians to communicate easily with patients via SMS, email, and secure video, in support of shared decision making.
