SWITCH 2025 Masterclass “Beyond Hospital Walls – Connected Decentralised Care,” was an extremely heartwarming and engaging session 🚀curated by NHIC.
This session brought experts together to reimagine care beyond our traditional care setting. The key opinion leaders drove home these 💪💪powerful takeaways:
1. Trust-building is crucial for patient and clinician acceptance of home-based care, supported by education and responsive digital tools.
2. Care beyond hospitals fosters stronger patient-clinician relationships and clinician autonomy, enhanced by technology enabling real-time support.
3. Success requires new competencies and mindset shifts for clinicians, patients and caregivers- emphasising relationship-building and adaptability in community settings.
4. Technology adoption must be user-centric, minimizing digital fatigue and leveraging familiar communication channels.
5. Place-based, relationship-driven care powered by harmonized data sharing methods strengthens community health and sustainability.
