A Digital Respiratory Ward in Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland, England, for Patients With COVID-19: Economic Evaluation of the Impact on Acute Capacity and Wider National Health Service Resource Use

A Digital Respiratory Ward in Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland, England, for Patients With COVID-19: Economic Evaluation of the Impact on Acute Capacity and Wider National Health Service Resource Use

Paper-based, phone-based, digitally-based, and wearable device–based digital wards were used during COVID-19 as vehicles for admission avoidance and for stepping down patients who had been acutely admitted. There were mixed results [10]. The findings could have implications for future pandemics and how health systems allocate resources to better recover from the pandemic. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the impact of a digital COVID-19 ward on NHS resource use.
