Virtual Wards: Virtual wards, also known as virtual care wards or hospital-at-home programs, are healthcare models that aim to provide hospital-level care to patients in their own homes. These programs typically utilise telehealth technologies, hardware, and remote monitoring systems to deliver medical care and supervision to patients who would otherwise require hospitalization.
