Provision of a remote monitoring system for the Hospital @ Home Initiative for Somerset NHS Foundation Trust and Yeovil District Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

NHS Somerset is embarking upon an exciting project to develop community respiratory and frailty services under the auspices of the NHS Hospital @ Home initiative, the aim being to reduce the dependence of patients and other agencies upon acute sector beds.

Hospital @ Home is a future cornerstone of inter-linked and place-based teams who support patients and colleagues in the community across Somerset. The Hospital @ Home team, whilst having discrete components that will develop in a phased way over time, will be collaborative and work as a whole team wrapping care around a person and those important to them.

The core components will provide safe support for patients with, but not limited to, frailty, respiratory diseases, cardiovascular disease (including heart failure) and complications of diabetes. The plan will be to extend to other conditions in the future.
