Friend,

I was pointed in your direction as potentially the correct contact in procurement to talk to about the use of virtual wards and the hospital@home initiatives. If that's not in your remit I apologise for the intrusion, but would appreciate it if you can put me in touch with the right person or people.

If these initiatives are on your radar, I'd like to ensure we are considered in your selection process and able to engage with the correct team members. We have a recognised platform for delivery and support of virtual wards, it is condition agnostic, but has already been used with multiple pathways at Barts with a major Pan-London deployment in progress, were we are extending the use in Barts across all tertiary London sites for cardiology, this include going live with 3 trusts at the end of the month, plus a further 5 over the next quarter. Overview link

We provide a digital platform for Virtual Wards and Remote Monitoring that allows clinical teams to monitor patients remotely, identify those that are deteriorating and take action where needed as well as step patients up or down as their condition requires.

We bring monitoring, automated follow-up and escalation plus patient communications into a single cardiology focussed Virtual Ward dashboard, irrespective of where they are on their journey. From referral to post operative monitoring and PIFU, we've built or can configure end to end cardiology pathways. Using our toolkit Consultants, ANPs and multi-disciplinary teams can and are already managing virtual wards optimised for risk and clinical time and capacity.

At Barts Health NHS Trust, who helped develop and have been using the platform for nearly 4 years, our digital platform is BMJ award winning. It is also now being implemented across all of London's tertiary Heart Centres covering multiple cardiology pathways, potentially 1.2m londoners and with the expectation that Ortus could be used across other condition areas.

We connect to patient devices locally to the patient via their phone and collect a variety of data and information including BP, Oximetry etc., PREMS, PROMS, symptoms and questionnaires through our patient portal and apps.

Pre-consultation and pre or post diagnosis our pathway automation allows a single click to instigate a flow of activities to be time released to patients including education, questionnaires, vitals collection and consent as the pathway requires greatly reducing the follow-up and chasing of patients traditionally needed. You can even use nudges for reminders or message single or groups of patients with in platform messaging.

Finally, there is no care without connected care we are delivering integration into EHR/PAS systems and have NHS spine integration for patient onboarding.

I do appreciate your help and and the opportunity for a call to under. If I've wasted your time I sincerely apologise.

Keep safe.
