Highlights
NHS Direct strives to provide a range of technology enabled interventions to support and empower patients across England
NHS Direct is able to offer a range of Telehealth services, which aim to enhance the health and well-being of patients with long-term conditions (LTC) and positively impact on the wider health economy
These projects have been highly successful and show our ability to deliver at a large-scale. In South East Essex we provide a monitoring service for patients with COPD who are linked to equipment that monitors vital signs
Summary
The monitoring enables very early identification of possible changes to health state and through collaboration with local clinicians ensures actions are taken to prevent a deterioration that may in the past have led to a high cost hospital admission. In Leeds and Hull we provide a similar service with the addition of mental health monitoring. Telehealth and access to urgent care: maximising the benefits for patients with long-term conditions in England
