Implementation Considerations

Leading Entity

Support remote health monitoring and the ability to quickly respond to disease progression by providing the underlining digital tools for remote patient monitoring. This will be supplementary to the in-person quality care provided by clinicians in the district. Example actions to help achieve this outcome include:

Improved patient care in an in-home setting Swift clinical response to chronic care patients

Remote patient monitoring and virtual care must be clinician lead, supported by ICT. For this technology to demonstrate value, the appropriate models of care need to be altered as appropriate by the medical team Consider commissioning a virtual care strategy to assess what has worked well in relation to virtual care and remote patient monitoring during the pandemic and what the direction and next steps should be. This should be in alignment to the NSW Health Virtual Care strategy to be released in 2021. Leverage the statewide remote monitoring vendor panel to provide guidance on selecting appropriate vendor and advice.

1.4 Provide tools to support patient remote monitoring

Potential reduction in hospital readmission.

Continuing to build upon the home monitoring capabilities from the COVID-19 response

► Utilising home monitoring devices and implants to better support and monitor chronic care patients ► Leveraging smart devices and wearables to support self monitoring of health and wellbeing

Leveraging the statewide virtual strategy opportunities to provide quality health outcomes to our community.

Continue the rollout of the statewide PRMs initiative and HOPE platform to allow patients and carers with the ability to provide feedback. Leveraging PRMs initiative will support the focus on elevating our patient’s experience, whilst recognising that the patient has a key role in driving health improvements and outcomes.

Greater insights into the patients' health experience and outcomes and ability to improve services PREMS and PROMS are measured, evaluated and used to inform evidence- based clinical care.

Continue to align with the statewide effort in the PRMs and HOPE platform across all clinical disciplines Assign resources and ensure appropriate clinical engagement and project governance.
