Why it matters
The shift elevates the value of interoperable platforms and cross-setting data exchange. It presses providers to scale digital care and may prompt new funding models that reward prevention over episodic care.
St Vincent’s Health Australia’s plan to deliver more than half of care at home by 2030, backed by Hearts at Home remote monitoring, marks today’s defining shift in Australian health care.
Home care push
St Vincent’s plan to move beyond traditional hospital care relies on Hearts at Home and remote monitoring, pushing health services to integrate community care with hospital systems.
