Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council, GB Digital Patient

In Progress

Stockport, Manchester City Council, and Oldham Council are working on a new platform for easing the transition from hospitals to at-home care. The tool provides step-by-step tracking of a patient's check-in, treatments, and discharge from partner organizations. Healthcare providers receive alerts when their patients face obstacles. An £82,000 award from The Local Digital Fund supports the councils' efforts at increased hospital capacity and information sharing.
