Why did we want to introduce a Telemedicine Service?

• 23% rise in Care home emergency admissions over two years in AVCCG

• Airedale Vanguard site - reduced emergency admissions by 35% and A&E attendances by 53%

• Opportunity to introduce ‘New ways of working’ to support the Primary Care Sustainability and Transformation agenda

• Supports the sharing of information via SCRAI • Supports the paperless 2020 agenda


What is Airedale Telehealth Hub?

• Digital Healthcare Centre based in Airedale FT Hospital

• 24/7 service • Video via PC’s • Resilient Infrastructure • Experienced nurses • Real time access to health information • Automated messaging back to GP practices
