Virtual workshop focus
The COVID-19 crisis has acted as a force for change, and has delivered some positive outcomes in terms of care – despite the tough circumstances. There are certainly new models of hybrid care emerging (bringing together virtual encounters and face-to-face [F2F] meetings/treatment). These two approaches of virtual and F2F are complementary.
The hybrid approach to health and care is likely to be around in the long-term. How can it best be made to ‘stick’? Having the appropriate integrated infrastructure is important, but so too are other ‘wrap-around’ conditions like: general preparation and planning; the re-design of care pathways; training; and evaluation.
Aims
The aim of this virtual workshop is to compare and contrast two services/sites (from Scotland and India) and to determine what are the most effective strategies for developing new models of care, especially ‘hybrid care’.
Outcomes
Key outcomes will include:
- awareness-raising about what hybrid models of care are and what is needed to progress with them.
- as a follow-up, a list of chief pointers to the re-design of health and care services and health and care pathways.
