“Outpatient services currently cause a good deal of inconvenience to patients and sometimes fail to provide care that is as good as it could be. We would therefore welcome a considered re-think of how they are delivered…” The Patients Association
The Covid-19 outbreak has provided a springboard for innovation and technology advancements across the NHS Estate, from electronic records and referrals to devices that patients can wear to help to track their health. Technology is helping transform the way hospitals and community services care for patients.
The number of outpatient visits in England has doubled to 94 million in the past decade; 20 per cent of potential appointments are cancelled or reported as did not attend, costs have spiralled to £8 billion per year and appointments generate 4,700 million kg of carbon emissions.
Following the Covid outbreak, the NHS Long Term Plan ambition to avoid unnecessary face to face outpatient attendances has become an urgent imperative, these targets include:
Removing the need for up to a third of hospital outpatient attendances a year by 2023/24
Avoiding up to £1.1bn of additional expenditure.
And ensuring all patients can access digital outpatient care.
