Interim Standard Operating procedure for delivering intravenous (IV) diuretics within a patient’s home (S106)
An Ambulatory Heart Failure (AHF) service has been delivered by DCHS, in partnership with UHDB, on a day case basis at the Royal Derby Hospital site since 2016. Treatment is given using Intravenous (IV) diuretics which can be given daily either following discharge from the acute hospital or referral from the community setting. The development of a Cardiology Virtual Ward has been discussed during 2022 which once implemented will see intravenous diuretics being administered to patients in their own home in addition to the existing AHF service. As an interim step and to support the transition away from hospital and to home delivery along with assisting University Hospitals Derby and Burton (UHDB) with current bed pressures; it has been proposed that one of 3 rooms currently used for AHF on CCU be converted back to a bedroom and a small number of patients receive their treatment at home instead. This will also help assess the process prior to commencing the virtual ward on a larger scale.
