Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora Tairāwhiti (Gisborne) is using remote patient monitoring to go live with virtual hospital beds in July.
Health NZ chief executive Margie Apa recently travelled to London where she visited virtual wards, as part of the organisation’s plans to expand their use in New Zealand.
The Āhuru Mōwai Hospital in the Home (HitH) service will initially be supporting 3-4 people a week, with a view to grow the service over the following 12 months, says clinical lead for Tairāwhiti HitH programme Erik McClain
He says Tairāwhiti has several different projects requiring the use of remote monitoring.
