Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust has secured performance-related payments from the UK Department of Health to continue delivery of telehealthcare for patients living with long-term conditions in the South of England.
The Trust introduced a telehealth programme to manage patients living with long-term conditions such as COPD, chronic heart failure (CHF) and diabetes. These accounted for 17% of emergency admission episodes in 2011-12, costing a total of ?3.4m, with COPD noted as the most costly.
Southern Health provides community health, specialist mental health and learning disability services to a population of around 1.3m people in Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire
