Remote Patient Monitoring

Home/Remote Patient Monitoring

Update

The COVID-10 pandemic has been described as the worst public health crisis for a generation and has presented a number of unique challenges to the health and social care systems. While the HSE strives to free up inpatient and critical care capacity to prepare for the increased number of COVID-19 cases requiring respiratory support, local Authorities, Housing associations and other service providers are facing the combined issues supporting increased numbers of isolated older individuals with a potentially reduced workforce.

The Challenging Situation

Challenges – Individuals

  • An estimated 1.5 million people deemed to be at high risk from COVID-19 have been asked to self isolate for at least 12 weeks

  • Strict social distancing measures have been mandated by the Irish government for all age groups, including the over 70s

  • Lacking social connections is comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes a day and has worse health outcomes than the risk factors such as obesity and physical inactivity.

  • Loneliness increases the likelihood of mortality by 26% in older people

Challenges – HSE

  • HSE must free up a minimum of 30,000 general and acute beds to meet projected demand

  • All inpatients who are medically fit must be discharged to free up an estimated 15,000 beds in England alone.

  • GP, diagnostic and outpatient appointments for older and vulnerable individuals should be delivered via remote consultations using video, telephone, email and text messages
