Patient Pathway
9
www.telemonitoringni.info
Each Healthcare Trust has specific Patient selection processes and associated goals Risk Stratification Tools can be used to identify suitable patients The selection process includes a preliminary patient assessment
Step 1 – Patient Identification and Referral
Clinical care pathways enable clinicians to identify the right cohort of patients suitable for the Remote Monitoring service
www.telemonitoringni.info
HSC Clinicians access an on-line web portal to create a referral and create a patients care plan The TF3 Clinical Triage Team receives and validates the referral Referral requests triggers patient appointments, obtaining consent, installation, training, …
Step 2 – Patient Enrolment on the service
www.telemonitoringni.info
Patients are enrolled on to the service and start to monitor their vital signs at home Readings are taken with the various peripherals and transmitted to the monitoring centre Qualitative patient feedback be captured via condition specific health interviews/ questionnaires
Step 3: Patient Self Management Support
www.telemonitoringni.info
There are two types of patient monitoring provided Track and Trend - Data recorded by service but clinical monitoring is by patients own care team Triage Service - The Patient is monitored and triaged by the TF3 Clinical Triage Team
Step 4 : Patient Monitoring Services
www.telemonitoringni.info If a patient’s data record outside the parameters set in the care plan, a nurse will contact the patient to check on their health and decide whether there is a need for intervention or escalation There are three types of Escalations : Local Response – the Clinical Triage Nurse escalates to the Local Care Team Out of Hours Service – over the weekend the Clinical Triage Nurse escalates to the Out of Hours Service Emergency Response –Clinical Triage Nurse escalates directly to Emergency Services
Step 5 : Escalation of Issues
www.telemonitoringni.info
The patient portal allows patients to review their progress. They can look at trends, comparisons and get health tips Patients can receive reminders and messages as well as information on events related to their condition Patients gain a greater understanding over time of their condition through the patient portal and become empowered to manage their condition proactively
Step 6: Self Management and Education
www.telemonitoringni.info
At referral all patients have a planned review date set based on the reason for referral and the condition(s) Clinicians review and decide whether to extend or discharge patients On discharge, the patient is assessed as to whether the clinical goals for the referral were achieved

Jon Darpón Sierra, Basque Minister for Health visits Telemonitoring NI Eddie Ritson, Programme Director of the CCHSC, said: “Telemonitoring is an excellent example of how modern technology can help deliver a better service for the patient, allowing them to take control and manage their condition with confidence. It also allows more efficient use of the healthcare professional’s time and skills. The service has an ambitious programme for development and next year plans to accelerate the uptake of telehealth into broader clinical conditions and expand into telecare.
Lesson: Political & Clinical Support for Success
30th January 2015 Health Minister, Jim Wells, and the Chief Medical Officer, Dr Michael McBride,
The Minister said: I was particularly interested to hear the perspectives of service users about how they have benefited from the service. Telemonitoring NI is a great example
delivery of Transforming Your Care (TYC) and fits with direction of Making Life Better framework for public health with the focus being on the needs of the individual, empowering and educating them so that they can take control of their
making a positive impact on the lives
Lesson: Political Support for Building on Success
Health Minister Hamilton Visits Telemonitoring NI Centre at Fold
Mr Hamilton said, “The opportunity to speak to staff here at the centre has given me a much clearer insight into how the service operates and interacts with clients
provides gives patients and their carers reassurance, as well as more confidence in managing their conditions. There can be no question that in the context of our ageing population, we need to be maximising the potential of solutions such as telemonitoring, telecare and other assistive technologies which can support independent living. To be fully effective in this, we need to work in partnership with
councils and the community and voluntary sectors.”

Lesson: Engaging Patients
Results from a 100 Patient Survey (2014)

.
The HSC Public Health Agency for Northern Ireland and Queen’s University Belfast have released an evaluation of the six-year (2011 – 2017) Remote Telemonitoring Service for Northern Ireland (RTNI). The Northern Ireland findings were at best equivocal. While the qualitative data gathered from patient, carer, and clinician focus groups and interviews were positive in terms of engagement and on reassurance–to be able to carry on with their lives as usual–the quantitative data did not confirm gains in effective care. Although there were a number of testimonials from the participants in the patient focus groups regarding reduced hospitalisations and a reduced need to attend outpatient clinics, this did not carry through to the data obtained in the effectiveness aspect of the current evaluation. In general terms, the number of hospitalisations, length of hospital stay and outpatient clinic attendance (and therefore overall cost of healthcare provision) did not differ between the quasi-control ‘never installed’ group and any of the groups who received some amount of telemonitoring.
