The shift from hospital to community is front and centre of the government’s 10-Year Health Plan for England. Enabled by improvements to digital infrastructure, the plan is to reduce fragmentation, provide a more connected experience for patients and improve health outcomes.
But looking beyond metrics such as reduced hospital stays, lower mortality, and lower rates of disease, some analysts predict that connected care has further knock-on effects for society. It can reduce the disruption that patients often experience in managing complex conditions and allow them to remain at home, at school, and at work for longer. Families experience less disruption, and underserved communities have more equitable access to services.
This HSJ webinar, in association with Sciensus, brings together experts from the NHS, think tanks, policy and industry to look at the data behind health inequalities and the impact that technology-facilitated, community-centred care can have. The panel will also explore how NHS organisations are rethinking pathways to bring care closer to home and break down barriers to social mobility.
