Two new regions will employ Lilli’s remote monitoring solution as part of two new projects.
North Tyneside and Nottingham City Councils will both be using Lilli’s technology to improve remote care outcomes, accelerate hospital discharge, reduce hospital readmissions, and allow individuals to live independently in their homes for longer.
In the first of the two projects, Nottingham on Call is working with Nottingham City Council to enhance home care for newly discharged hospital patients from Nottingham University Hospital wards. This is by establishing a ‘wrap-around’ 24-hour home assessment and care services for an initial six weeks post-hospital discharge period for individuals.
The package will combine Lilli’s technology with hands-on care, and it will be integrated into the NHS Discharge to Assess pathway to help accelerate safe hospital discharge.
Meanwhile, North Tyneside Council has begun to roll out Lilli’s remote monitoring technology to 100 people as part of a new pilot scheme. The trial aims to provide North Tyneside’s social care practitioners with data and insights to support decision-making, ensuring individuals receive the right care and allowing them to live more independently in their own homes for longer.
Lilli’s technology
“This partnership with Lilli is a significant and exciting development,” said David Miles, Nottingham on Call development manager. “We are committed to providing a high quality of life for our residents, and Lilli’s remote monitoring technology will be invaluable in enabling evidence-based decision-making, with a focus on providing shorter visits where relevant and reducing the need for overnight care.
“Lilli’s data will empower our partner care teams to allocate our precious care resources to where we can make the biggest positive difference.”
With an ever increasing demand for social care support, due to increasing pressure within health and social care, the data and insights from Lilli’s solution will help social workers, occupational therapists and community wellbeing officers understand service users’ needs.
This can be particularly useful when someone first requests support for social care or at the point of discharge from hospital, especially given that the recent spiring survey from ADASS revealed that 82 per cent of directors have experienced and increase in referrals for people being discharged from hospital.
