SINGAPORE: In a bid to balance the number of beds that hospitals can manage with the growing need for healthcare, more patients will be given the option to be cared for at home in virtual wards, rather than in a hospital.
The Mobile Inpatient Care @ Home – or MIC@Home – programme allows teams of doctors, nurses and allied health professionals to care for suitable patients in the comfort of their own homes through a combination of teleconsultations and home visits.
