16. The big question
Does it Work?
Feedback
• from patients in their own
homes
• Nursing and residential
home patients
• And carers
• And clinicians
• And nurses
17. Patient feedback
“…there is no expensive journey to and from hospital.
No re-organising of work commitments to then
spend time sitting around in waiting rooms…
…simply a live link up where I can talk freely and we
can swap ideas as to how to improve my life…”
Gillian, Diabetes Patient,
talking about her home based telemedicine service
http://www.airedaledigitalhealthcarecentre.nhs.uk/Videos/
18. Care Home feedback
“Very good service, made me feel confidant within my job
role so I could do the best I can for our residents. So
often we are left in confusion whether we should call a
doctor or an ambulance. This service takes the pressure
off us as we have access quickly to a health professional
who can advise us the best route to follow. Dr Pope was
fantastic when one of our dementia patients fell and
bashed her nose. I would have called an ambulance and
she would have endured an A&E visit which would have
terrified her. Dr Pope saved her from this and reassured
me that the cut was superficial, which was true - and she
was fine.”
Residential Home Care Worker
19. Nursing Home staff
• ‘made me feel confident in my job role’
• ‘quick, helpful and much easier than going
through telephone triage as (I was)
recognised as a professional, with
knowledge, rather than a complete lay
person as often occurs via telephone’
20. Does it work?
“It’s a brilliant concept”
“ [the telemedicine system]…has been a Godsend to me. Thank you
for getting me one”
“came into its own 4th Feb when snow and ice brought traffic to a halt.
Geoff’s condition deteriorated suddenly and having visual, instant
contact with the team was very reassuring. A wonderful service”
“I’m only sorry it wasn’t out years ago”
“All the people in my block came round for coffee and saw it working –
they are all quite envious of it now!”
“The best thing about it is knowing I am not alone”
“the picture is faint and the sound keeps coming and going”
http://www.airedaledigitalhealthcarecentre.nhs.uk/Videos/
21. Overall level of
satisfaction
95% patients and 90% of clinicians described themselves as being “very satisfied”
or “satisfied”.
22. Level of satisfaction –
ability to communicate issues and
concerns during the Teleconsultation
• Several patients have mentioned the positive benefit of including
family members in the consultation:-
“It was good how we can all have input; Dr. Pope, Jackie [DSN],
myself and my wife all round the TV”
23. numerous potential use
cases:
When to use?
• long term conditions
• outpatients
• nursing homes
• employee health & well
being
• early supported discharge
• admission avoidance
• dementia – carer support
• social care
• purely social calling
• specialist networks
24. Deploying at scale
Just imagine….
…the number of patients lives
that could be enhanced
…the number of carers and
families that could be
supported
…the amount of time released
to care
…the resources released for
better utilisation/reinvestment
..if we maximised the potential of telehealth at scale
25. Future Developments
3 year end of life project
- Telephone and telemedicine
North Yorkshire commissioners developing
business case for 40 care homes
Enable telemedicine site wide across Airedale
26. Does it work?
Patient survey – on going
How satisfied were you with:- Ave Score (0-10 scale)
(a) the teleconsultation 8.7
(b) the video quality 8.5
(c) your ability to use the link to
communicate your issues and

37. Quotes from patients
• “The telemed literally brought tomorrow’s technology into my living
room today; without any need to travel I can talk to a specialist!. The
system puts me in control of my diabetes care instead of my illness
governing or interfering with my lifestyle.”
• “There is no expensive journey to and from hospital (2 bus journeys
each way), no reorganising of work commitments to then spend time
sitting around in waiting rooms: simply a live link up where I can talk
freely and we can swap ideas as to how to improve my life”
• “The consultation is an active two way process…it makes a huge
difference to how I feel about my diabetes and therefore about
myself”
