What is a Virtual Hospital?

A virtual hospital is a technology-enabled care delivery system that provides hospital-level monitoring and treatment to patients in their homes through telehealth and remote monitoring devices. This innovative model combines sophisticated medical technology, continuous remote clinical oversight, and home-based care to deliver acute-level services outside traditional hospital walls.

Why virtual hospitals matter

• Reduces hospital overcrowding: Allows healthcare systems to treat more patients by extending hospital care beyond physical facilities
• Improves patient comfort: Enables patients to receive hospital-level care in familiar home environments, potentially reducing stress and promoting healing
• Lowers healthcare costs: Eliminates expenses associated with physical hospital stays while maintaining high-quality medical supervision
