Hospital at home - a healthy idea
Away is good, but home is best. Oslo University Hospital offers hospital follow-up to patients in their own homes. The OUS Neuro Clinic shares their experiences in this webinar.
Don't give up!
Elisabeth Dreier Sørvik and Lotte Sandberg Larsen emphasise how important it is to get everyone on board when doing digital home follow-up.
'It can be difficult, but don't give up! Involve management, clinicians, municipal employees, the Directorate of Health, everyone! Management is particularly important for achieving results and progress,’ they emphasise.

More information
Oslo University Hospital (OUS) has set a goal for more patients to be offered more of their specialist treatment at home, either for part or all of the treatment process. Several clinics already have several services in place, while other initiatives are being planned or trialled. This is something the hospital is investing heavily in, and calls its project OUS Home.
The Neuro Clinic has made a good start with treatment at home for several of its patient groups. At the webinar, you will hear about the digital patient pathways that have been initiated in the clinic.
