Excellence in clinical care
This award recognises excellence in the delivery of safe, high quality clinical care and service by a team.
2023 winner
Virtual emergency medicine service – South Metropolitan Health Service
Led by the FSH ED with the South Metropolitan Health Service Innovation team and St John Ambulance, this service delivers patients the right care at the right time in the right place.
It enables ED staff to initiate remote consultation for eligible patients to triage and fast track them to the appropriate emergency care pathway. This includes diverting patients to the most appropriate hospital service on arrival, engaging support from community services, or discharging patients following clinical consultation without the need for them to come to hospital.
The service has revolutionised patient care by streamlining and improving access, improving the patient experience and helping manage ambulance demand.
