Two years of Hospital in the Home services

On 1 March 2023, North West HHS recognised and celebrated the Hospital in the Home (HITH) service operating for two years in the region.

The HITH program continues to provide huge benefits to the local community by freeing up hospital beds, treating patients in the comfort of their own home and improving patient recovery times.

The initial 10-week pilot program that started in 2021 has shifted into an ongoing model of care successfully treating patients at home for conditions requiring low level medical and nursing intervention.

Since starting the program two years ago, more than 300 patients have engaged with the service. This reflects the wonderful work the HITH team do to ensure patients in our communities receive the best care possible.

Congratulations and a big thank you to the HITH team who make this important service available for our community!
