Virtual Wards - Deliver a Virtual Ward Future
Virtual wards are key to reducing pressures on the NHS and technology partners are integral to making them work.
We've put together some information on how we can work with you to achieve the NHS virtual ward targets and help you to deliver safe, better care, at home.
Our unique eco-system can help deliver a virtual wards future
At Access, we're the only supplier that can partner with you to join up your care across primary and secondary healthcare, social care and the care sector, the key to supporting the whole virtual ward. Our breadth of solutions provide visibility for your staff so they have the information they need to provide safe, quality care.
Whether you’re stepping down care to make beds available in hospital or providing anticipatory care to avoid admission, at home or in residential care, our solutions help you to roster, provision and monitor care, communicate with patients and give you a clear view of how your patients are doing. Data flowing to existing systems from across the care continuum and easy to navigate dashboards give you the confidence to safely treat patients in a virtual ward.
What are virtual wards?
No-one should stay in hospital for longer than they need to or even be admitted when alternatives can be enabled, and with acute capacity at a crucial tipping point, virtual wards mean that you can offer frictionless, at-home care, anytime.
Supported by monitoring and communication tools, clinicians are able to provide safe and effective community care. This means that patients can be cared for at home, where it’s proven people are happier and recover quicker.
