What future evolution of remote monitoring in the community will speed up its impact on hospital admission and bed occupancy?

Brought to you by The Healthcare Group

This first in a series of events in association with Cambridge University Health Partners (CUHP) will take place at the UTC Cambridge. Remote patient monitoring does have some impact on hospital admissions but the demand greatly outstrips the current technological capacity.

Registration for this event is now closed.

About the event

Bringing together the different disciplines represented by Primary, Secondary, Social, Community and Technology care, this series of co-organised conferences will investigate, debate and ultimately recommend a future form of remote monitoring in the community which further reduces hospital admission and enhances bed management.

This first conference will seek to lay bare the realities of hospital admissions and the challenges associated with bed allocation from different perspectives. The speakers will present and discuss whether future remote monitoring and remote care services established in the community could provide the essential solution or are they a dangerous vision? Participants from across the health/social/technology sector are invited to attend this series of events to understand the problem and form part of the community creating positive informed change.

Technology innovation in community care: trying to make sense of an irrational system; Dr James Morrow BM BCh LLB, GP & Managing Partner, Granta Medical Practices.

NHS secondary, primary and community care remain disjointed and fragmented. Technology is poorly utilised and insufficiently integrated.
Existing structures make innovation through the NHS challenging, but the opportunities for improved care
are real.
James will set out his assessment of both the opportunities for using remote monitoring in the community and the problems with assuming that the NHS is rational when it comes to new technologies.

Winter is now all year round – just how do we cope?; Evelyn Barker, Interim Chief Operating Officer, Cambridge University Hospitals

Across England ‘winter pressure’ on acute hospitals has showed no signs of diminishing over summer
months. Increasing numbers of paediatric and over 85 year olds are presenting at our ED & requiring admission - the hospital running ‘hot’ with bed occupancy at >98 % most days.
Evelyn will outline the challenges of predicting capacity requirements for elective & non-elective
admissions.
