New Models of Care. The NHS Five Year Forward View (5YFV) made it clear that new technologies could and should support the introduction of new models of care. One example is in the care and treatment of people with epilepsy. Traditionally a patient who has had a fit will be called for routine follow up appointments. But we will introduce a system that issues sufferers with a wristband that streams information back to the clinical team. Not only does this provide clearer feedback on the efficacy of the drug regime, but it means that follow up appointments are not needed unless a patient suffers another fit . We will introduce, in collaboration and consultation with our own clinical colleagues, similar devices and processes for congestive heart failure, and potentially frailty and elderly care.
