Case study: Scaling up remote monitoring from pilot to practice

25 September | 10:30am to 11:15am

With care moving out of hospitals and closer to communities, remote monitoring of patients is set to be a key area for development with the NHS. Most organisations have found success with pilot projects, but face challenges scaling those up into sustainable day-to-day services.

Deploying remote monitoring at scale requires a holistic approach to funding, training, implementation, change management, and governance. But when done properly, the benefits speak for themselves. Organisations can save money, staff are more productive, and patients present less frequently and spend less time in hospitals.

This HSJ webinar, sponsored by and produced with Luscii, explores how NHS organisations are turning isolated remote monitoring successes into long-term transformation. Markus Bolton will share how medical technology firm Graphnet has scaled remote monitoring in primary care with a focus on Frimley Health and Care Integrated Care System. We will also hear from Crystal Dennis at NHS Dorset, who has overseen a rollout serving more than 15,000 people across 18 primary care networks.

Join us to learn:

• How remote monitoring can help reduce GP workload, hospital admissions and prescription volumes
• How to scale beyond isolated pilot projects to system-wide programmes
• Which pathways lend themselves to remote monitoring at scale
• How to develop a business case to scale up your pilots
