Connected Care Hub

The Connected Care Hub focuses on delivering short-term transitional care, caring for patients with respiratory illnesses and recovery from other acute exacerbations or illnesses.

See below to learn more.

By providing an increased intensity of care for a short duration of time, the Hub enables effective transition of patients into the community (or keeps patients at home) and prevents unnecessary Emergency Department (ED) visits and in-patient hospital admissions.

Building from the success with virtual COVID care, the HUB aims to:

Provide a Transitional NP:
• for the days/weeks following hospital discharge
• for the days/weeks following an acute episode or change in baseline
Provide equitable and accessible care
Better manage seasonal pressures
Support transition to home/community

For more information on the hub please see: Connected Care Hub Overview.
