Background: Virtual wards (VWs) are being introduced within the National Health Service (NHS) in England as a new way of delivering care to patients who would otherwise be hospitalized. Using digital technologies, patients can receive acute care, remote monitoring, and treatment in their homes. Integrated care system commissioners are employees involved in the planning of, agreeing to, and monitoring of services within NHS England and have an important role in the adoption and implementation of VWs in clinical practice.
Objective: This study aims to develop an understanding of the acceptability and feasibility of adopting and implementing VWs in England from integrated care system commissioners’ perspectives, including the identification of barriers and facilitators to implementation.
Methods: Qualitative semistructured interviews were conducted with 20 commissioners employed by NHS England (NHSE) in various geographic regions of England. Thematic analysis was conducted, structured using the framework approach, and informed by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. The COREQ (Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research) guidelines were followed.
