Comment on: Funding squeeze halts innovative nurse-led service
Just to clarify that it was the PCT that made the £249,000 savings in reduced admissions, that the cost of the telehealth monitoring service for one year was approx £20,000 - can anyone explain why such a ROI is ignored - is this not a case for QIPP? - surely the funding was available in freed up resources? The original excellent report (that was produced by the Nurse Consultant and her team who have run one of the best run telehealth projects in the UK) talked about the positive experience of the patients, their reduced anxiety and reduction of visits to hospital, and thankfulness for such a service. Does anyone in thePCT have responsibility for the health and well being of these poor COPD patients and their carers who had this service stripped from them at a days notice and are now ending up back in hospital?
