Supporting the health and care system to implement virtual wards
Virtual wards (also known as hospital at home) provide hospital level care at home.
People on a virtual ward are cared for by a multidisciplinary team who can provide a range of tests and treatments and may use simple technology to monitor the person’s recovery.
Our strategic aims for implementation
Our aim is to drive and enable the effective use of our guidance and standards to ensure people receive the best possible care. We have four strategic aims for implementation:
- embedding implementation upstream
- strengthening external collaboration and partnerships
- developing implementation campaigns for system priorities
- increasing the use of data for uptake and impact.
