For suitable patients, Vitalis Virtual Hospital care provides a safe and cost-effective alternative to an inpatient stay, effectively extending the walls of the hospital to a patient’s own home.

Vitalis Virtual Hospital Care combines remote monitoring technology with clinical expertise to deliver active remote patient management. Where indicated, Vitalis Virtual integrates with Vitalis services such as Hospital in the Home (HITH) and Rehabilitation in the Home (RITH) to enable patients to safely receive hospital-level services in the comfort of their own home.

Through reductions in hospital presentations and reduced length of stay, Vitalis Virtual provides true value-based care for public and private hospitals and the health systems within which they operate, while delivering exceptional outcomes and experiences for patients.

Vitalis Virtual’s integrated service is designed:

To reduce avoidable admissions to hospital for high risk patient cohorts with multiple co-morbidities and/or chronic conditions
As an alternative to hospital Emergency Departments, or to enable rapid discharge from the Emergency Department
To reduce the length of hospitalisation through active patient monitoring following an inpatient stay

VITALIS VIRTUAL HOSPITAL WARD

Vitalis Virtual patient monitoring and management enables hospitals and health systems to increase capacity without the need to expand their bricks and mortar facilities.

Healthcare funders also benefit from active management of their at-risk patient cohorts to minimise avoidable readmissions.

Vitalis Virtual Care

Virtual Care and Virtual Wards were fully established with the emergence of COVID-19, an infectious virus that has impacted a significant portion of the population. Much of the intent behind dealing with health issues virtually has been to protect the wider community while allowing those incapable of attending a hospital or clinic to still have access to healthcare.

Vitalis has taken it a few steps further and is offering the health system a sustainable way to care for those who wish to recover at home, even when they have a chronic disease or are in recovery after a major surgery.

Virtual hospitals can support patients in their recovery or in managing chronic diseases, providing acute care and remote patient monitoring. Healthcare professionals, with a little help from technology, can monitor a patient’s health status, vital signs and symptoms to offer treatment solutions all while the patient stays home.

Call us to find out how we can support you or your patients at home.

Remote Patient Monitoring

Remote patient monitoring is a method of gathering patient data from patients living or recovering in their home environment. Apps or devices are used to collect the data and, once collected, is sent to healthcare professionals via a virtual care system.

This is a great way of freeing up a hospital bed for a patient who doesn’t have the option of being at home. It has been proven to positively impact health outcomes in many patients, providing tangible cost savings in terms of reduced expenses related to transportation, parking, and the time lost while travelling to and from medical appointments.

Remote patient monitoring is a cost-effective option for patients who, with clinical supervision, are safe to return home, such as patients with:

heart conditions
COPD exacerbations
multiple co-morbidities
chronic conditions
or who are recovering from surgery

Contact us to find out whether Virtual Care is an option for you or for your patients.

Benefits of Virtual Care

There are many notable benefits to virtual care in a patient’s home.

1. Convenience

Having access to a virtual hospital, healthcare providers, nurses or your doctor while staying at home can mean a lot for a person with mobility challenges or for older adults who may be experiencing financial hardship. For people living with chronic conditions or recovering from a traumatic event, it can mean that they don’t have to live in a hospital bed but, instead, can receive care while in their own home.

2. Accessibility

Patients who live in rural areas or areas that lack medical care can access telehealth services improving patient experience and taking pressure off overwhelmed healthcare providers. It can also offer those patients the option of care in the home with access to doctors and practitioners through remote patient monitoring. With Vitalis, this can include acute care for complex conditions.

3. Efficiency

Telehealth can improve the efficiency of healthcare delivery by streamlining processes, possibly leading to quicker diagnosis and treatment. Patients with chronic conditions will benefit even further from speedy diagnosis as their physician will be better equipped to make decisions about their care management.

4. Cost Savings

Patients may find virtual hospital care to be the most cost-effective. Transportation, parking and other costs associated with a long-term hospital stay are generally non-existent. The high level of care received from the associated medical professionals remains the same but the monitoring usually received while in person at the hospital can be done from home.

5. Access to Specialists

When remote patient monitoring is working at its optimal level, a virtual hospital is at its best. With the right specialists available to oversee patient outcomes with all of the data at their fingertips.

6. Continuity of Care

With the technology and devices available today Vitalis Virtual Hospital Care offers the same high level of care to patients that they would receive if they were to stay in hospital. Virtual Care allows for the ongoing monitoring of chronic conditions, surgery recovery and a range of other conditions that patients experience.

Vitalis Virtual Hospital Care has been designed with a patient’s health outcomes as a top priority. Under the care of medical professionals, a lengthy hospital stay can be avoided, and any complications can be treated quickly and effectively.

Vitalis is special. I have been working in this wonderful company for almost three years now. I love the work ethic, people culture, mission, vision and its client-centredness. The whole Vitalis team is so mindful of staff physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. Our work and effort is so highly valued, plus we have the 100% support from the management. It is a blessing to work at Vitalis.

Everyone at Vitalis has supported me to be the best carer I can be. I have been matched beautifully with my clients since the day I started. I am still caring for some of these clients and have built a trusting and well-understood relationship regarding their wants and needs.

My approach has always been to care for clients the way I would want my own parents treated.

I’ve been providing care for people in the community for over 15 years and Vitalis is by far the best health service I’ve worked at. The back-up service supporting me is always quick, informed and on the ball 24/7, so I always feel supported even when working alone in the field. There is a friendly and respectful attitude between all staff, which creates open communications and good working relationships. Vitalis listens to their clients and their staff. They care!

FB, Glenwood, October 2019

This was an emotional time for me. Being able to be in my own home especially as my daughter who lives overseas was able to be here. Allowing me to be home I was able to spend more time with her. What lovely nurses attended to me. Their visits were most welcome. Thank you. A very valuable organisation.

PC, Turramurra, April 2019

The two staff nurses who attended to my left lower leg post-surgery were very professional and courteous. Their hands were gentle and efficient and their whole demeanour was reassuring. I felt comfortable to ask any questions. Please thank them on my behalf.

AT, Thornleigh, June 2019

Vitalis provided exceptional care for our elderly mother in her home for five months until her passing. We switched to Vitalis from another company as we were impressed by their professionalism, personalised approach, attention to detail, and the way they treated mum with respect, kindness and compassion at all times. Voni was an absolute pleasure to deal with. She brings a wealth of experience to the table and has a lovely bedside manner with her clients. No problem was every too big for Voni to resolve and she and her staff went above and beyond to ensure mum was being well cared for and that her comfort and dignity was maintained until the very end. I have no hesitation recommending Vitalis as a care provider and have already provided their details to a few friends exploring care options for their parents.

TB, Warrawee, 2017

My experience with Vitalis has been a success for the input on a management plan of how the wound was to be treated and it’s execution. Every one of the attending team was professional and they knew the requirements of the plan and the expected healing rate. Overall my wound would never have healed without surgical intervention and the nursing input. I am very grateful for Vitalis’s attention.

NJ, WARRAWEE, 2020

We found your staff competent, confident, friendly and helpful in every respect – Thank you so much!

BH, Avalon Beach, March 2021

Words just cannot express how grateful I am for all that you have done over the last 4 nearly 5 months. Particularly in this last few days, I absolutely could not have gotten through it without you. Your calm, in control but gentle nature and work ethic we’re just what I needed. Whenever you said “now here’s the plan” was music to my ears. You facilitated the most beautiful death for dad, just what he wanted. Also I must commend you on your staff. Oh my gosh, we are all in love with Belinda and Deane. And of course Bella and Hannah too. Thank you Voni.

SC, Darling Point, September 2020

Voni, you are a true angel. Thank you so much for everything. You made Mum’s wishes come true and now she can be at peace knowing she could be at home one last time! It has been a true honour to meet you. You truly helped get us through this tough time.

Family of A.N, Currans Hill, September 2021

There are no words to describe how amazing, efficient, reliable and friendly these magical nurses were. There is no place like home to regain strength and Vitalis enabled this to happen. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

MM, Pennant Hills, February 2020
