This abstract has open access
Abstract Description

RPA Virtual Hospital, established in 2020, has rapidly become a bastion of virtual healthcare, providing hospital-level care within patients' homes and significantly advancing healthcare delivery. This presentation will provide a historical overview of the hospital, elucidate the various virtual models of care developed, and showcase the technology stack enabling these services.

 

Case examples will demonstrate the real-world impact of virtual care services, including the integration of a multidisciplinary team utilising video conferencing to deliver innovative and high-quality patient care.

 

Despite the successes, challenges to the effective adoption of virtual care persist. This presentation will examine these obstacles, including the medicolegal landscape, clinician adoption, and RPA Virtual's strategies to overcome these issues.

 

Looking forward, the future of virtual care at RPA Virtual Hospital promises to not only improve healthcare accessibility and equity but also streamline healthcare services and reduce overall system costs. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how virtual care is being revolutionised in Australia and the potential it has to transform the global health landscape.
