The Virtual Hospital is a remote care center, temporary treatment facility, or individual patient home where modern technology delivers healthcare under the supervision of a centralized medical team attached to a traditional hospital . Through technology, patients are monitored remotely and supported by a combination of in-person and virtual house-calls together with a supply chain of services. Often these centralized command centers are located in traditional hospitals. This allows for management of larger patient populations in remote satellite locations. And while some virtual hospitals serve as extensions of traditional hospitals, others offer limited services including teleconsultations, drop off/pick up testing kits, and delivery of medicines. A virtual hospital model in the United States has chosen a more patient-centric approach. In this model, temporary hospitals that provide hospital-level care for high acuity patients are delivered, installed, and managed within each patient's home. This is the patient-centric virtual hospital model.
