Virtual Wards
A virtual ward (also known as hospital at home or Virtual Hospital ) allows patients to get the care they need at home safely and conveniently, rather than being in hospital. Just as in hospital, people on a virtual ward are cared for by a multidisciplinary team who can provide a range of tests and treatments. This could include blood tests, prescribing medication or administering fluids through an intravenous drip. Patients are reviewed by the clinical team and the 'ward round' may involve a home visit or take place through video technology. Many virtual wards use technology like apps, wearables and other medical devices enabling clinical staff to easily check in and monitor the person's recovery. Virtual wards use the systems and staffing of a hospital ward, but without the physical building: they provide preventative care for people in their own homes. In the developing world a virtual hospital interconnects villages with their main hospitals, and hospitals in the West usi ...
