The hospital takes care of corona patients at home
Everything was in place to establish digital home follow-up at Sørlandet Hospital when the coronavirus pandemic hit Norway. The Somatic Clinic shares their experiences of lessons learnt along the way and how they made digital home follow-up of corona patients part of normal operations in the department.

‘It felt safe that someone was monitoring my condition, but that I was allowed to stay at home instead of in hospital,’ says a corona patient at Sørlandet Hospital. Digital home follow-up of corona patients is now part of normal operations at the hospital. Join us for a webinar about how they got there, how the department is rigged to follow up patients who are at home, as well as lessons learnt from the last two years.
Presentation by section head Rita Helleren, department head Marianne Jacobsen, and nurse Arve Vesterfjell at the somatic clinic at Sørlandet hospital.
The webinar follows Morten Lauknes' presentation on the innovation project. Sørlandet Hospital has now established an offer of digital home follow-up. This webinar will focus on the experiences of healthcare professionals in the clinic.
