6 Hospital at Home

7 The Virtual Hospital Trial: Copenhagen aukcar.ac.uk Patients: Telemedicine-supported Hospital at Home vs inpatient hospital treatment. Acute exacerbation of COPD, expected to need admission >2days Not requiring a hospital-based intervention (NIV, IV antibiotics) and without an unstable co-morbidity Primary outcome: readmission due to COPD within 30 days after discharge Assessed, recruited and randomised within 24 hours of arriving at the hospital Jakobsen et al. Trials; 14:280

8 The Virtual Hospital Trial: Copenhagen aukcar.ac.uk Telemedicine-supported Hospital at Home vs inpatient hospital treatment. Telemonitoring equipment Touch screen, webcam, spirometer, oximeter, thermometer Treatment Medicine box containing antibiotics, inhalation medicine, corticosteroids and sedatives; nebuliser, oxygen Under the care of the hospital admitting unit Scheduled daily ward round Call hospital button on the touch screen Jakobsen et al. Trials; 14:280 Until satisfied hospital discharge criteria

9 The Virtual Hospital Trial: Copenhagen aukcar.ac.uk Telemedicine-supported Hospital at Home vs inpatient hospital treatment. Recruited: 58 patients over 18 months. 647 respiratory admissions assessed 117 potentially eligible 58 recruited to trial 59 declined 35 felt too unwell to make the journey home 9 felt uncomfortable with telemedicine 4 did not feel sufficiently ill 11 patients gave no reason. Jacobsen et al. J Telemed Telecare 2013

10 The Virtual Hospital Trial: Copenhagen aukcar.ac.uk Telemedicine-supported Hospital at Home vs inpatient hospital treatment. Recruited: 58 patients over 18 months. No significant difference in re-admissions (under-powered) Jacobsen et al. J Telemed Telecare 2013 No clinically significant difference in SGRQ, HADS, ADL Schou et al. J Telemed Telecare 2013 No difference in self-efficacy Emme et al. J Clin Nursing 2014; 23: Jacobsen et al. J Telemed Telecare 2013

11 The Virtual Hospital Trial: Copenhagen aukcar.ac.uk Telemedicine-supported Hospital at Home vs inpatient hospital treatment. Recruited: 58 patients Stabilising over 18 the months. out of control exacerbation Returning No significant to every day difference life in re-admissions (under-powered) but security of being monitored Still coping with symptoms No clinically significant difference in SGRQ, HADS, ADL but with the aid of medical equipment Supported by relatives/friends but medical help at the touch of a button No difference in self-efficacy Jacobsen et al. J Telemed Telecare 2013 Schou et al. J Telemed Telecare 2013 Emme et al. Journal of Clinical Nursing, 23, Emme et al. J Clin Nursing 2014; 23: Jacobsen et al. J Telemed Telecare 2013

12 Early post-discharge Regaining confidence in ability to cope

13 Telehealth intervention: Odense aukcar.ac.uk Daily monitoring and video-consultations for one week vs conventional postdischarge management No difference in: Mean number of admissions over the 6 month trial Time to first admission Bed days 266 patients Sorknaes et al. J Telemed Telecare 2013, 19:

14 Barnsley aukcar.ac.uk 8 weeks post-discharge support by a community team 2 visits + daily telemonitoring vs 6 visits No statistical comparison (pilot study) but: Feedback indicated that both groups expressed a preference for personalised face-to-face service Bentley et al. Trials 2014, 15:313

15 HomePods (Salford) aukcar.ac.uk Observational study of early supported discharge with HomePods for 30 days (Abstract: BTS) 73 (25%) patients under ESD team selected for HomePods 30 day re-admission rates 3% (vs 8%) Efficient: able to increase caseload (15 ->18cases) Patients survey showed excellent impact on: Patients satisfaction Confidence in self care Patients acceptability

16 Supported selfmanagement Preventing admissions

17 What is self-management? aukcar.ac.uk Self management is defined as the tasks that individuals must undertake to live with one or more chronic conditions. These tasks include having the confidence to deal with: medical management, role management & emotional management of their conditions US Institute of Medicine
