| MOST: Model for Optimising Scaleable Telehealthcare |  |
This project tackles a major healthcare challenge, namely the overwhelming need for alternative and more affordable models of care delivery in managing long term conditions. It is understood that care can often be provided more effectively closer to a patient's normal environment. It is also recognised that technology is a necessary enabler for change, particularly where: new models include care at a distance; where sustainable delivery needs the repeatibility and auditability characteristic of software implementation; and where technology can encourage people to take responsibility for managing their own health.
As part of the Technology Strategy Board's Assisted Living: Economic and Business Models and Social & Behavioural Studies competition, the partnership consists of Tunstall Healthcare (project lead), Ernst & Young LLP, NHS North Yorkshire and York and Nuffield Trust.
NHS North Yorkshire and York is actively engaged with Tunstall to deliver intelligent combinations of care pathway and service redesign, technology integration and structured engagement with all relevant stakeholders. This work delivers at large-scale, but is tailored to the immediate needs of North Yorkshire and selected groups of service users.
