About East CareConnect: Uniting in-person and virtual care
Our new virtual hospital is delivering hospital-quality treatment in people’s homes through traditional medical care and technology. East CareConnect is a new arm of our health service dedicated to harnessing technology to provide hospital-quality care in the community
Transformative, state-of-the-art and patient-centred, East CareConnect marks a major step forward in how we can deliver health care and brings our virtual services together under one banner.
For the first time, patients have this year been able to choose ‘hospital’ treatment at home under the East CareConnect Home Hospital service for some conditions which in the past would have required them to physically be at a hospital site.
East CareConnect is the culmination of work which began at the start of this decade with our ground-breaking remote monitoring services Health in a Virtual Environment (HIVE) and Community Health in a Virtual Environment (Co-HIVE).
Virtual services are an important part of our ongoing evolution. They are giving patients more choice by enabling care and monitoring from the comfort of their homes, and in turn freeing up physical hospital beds for those who need them the most.
East CareConnect services are helping us lay the foundation for a more sustainable, accessible and equitable healthcare future.
