Implementation of a Paediatric Virtual Emergency Department: A Descriptive Analysis
Based on discharge disposition, VVED-Kids appears to divert patients from attending physical EDs, preserving in-person care for higher acuity patients who need it most. Partnerships with key healthcare providers such as Nurse-on-Call and Ambulance Victoria can support more families in avoiding the physical ED and receiving care in their own homes.
