The NHS Institute closed on 31 March 2013. This website is being maintained in the short term so that registered users can download documents and view videos (but webinars are no longer available). A number of key resources will transfer to the NHS Improving Quality’s website. Once this website is closed you'll be able to see all publicly available content on The National Archives website: http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/*/http://institute.nhs.uk.

Please note that from May 1st 2013 the ability to order our hard copy materials will be temporarily suspended as we finalise the closedown of the NHS Institute and complete the transition to NHS Improving Quality (part of NHS England). It is currently anticipated that many of the materials will be passed onto NHS England and should become available again later this year.

Further messages on its future will be posted here over the coming weeks.

Telehealth in Kent: what's behind its success

Telehealth in Kent: what's behind its success
When Kent County Council (KCC) started testing telehealth in 2005, those who had championed the technology in the local authority were expecting some significant benefits in terms of improved care and cost efficiencies. Now some 250 patients across the county with long-term conditions are using telehealth technologies on a daily basis – and the results are even better than hoped. The trial has prevented unplanned hospital admissions for less complex cases; even patients with complex co-morbidities are staying in their homes and away from hospital for longer; and acute care costs are down by more than 60 per cent in some patient groups.
