Compliment of the month – Hospital in the Home

“I would like to compliment the HITH team on their willingness to support urgent COVID-19 patient care in their home.  

“They were asked to undertake a welfare and health check on an 98 year-old gentleman with COVID-19 who had been unable to be contacted and was of very high risk of deteriorating.

“Without hesitation, the HITH team enabled an urgent home visit. The HITH nurse spoke with the patient’s family and ensured they were aware of the importance of communicating with the Virtual Ward so that ongoing care could be facilitated for their loved one.

“Great work HITH Team – a very responsive and patient-centred approach to ensuring this very elderly man was safe at home.”
