Hi everyone,

I’m researching virtual ward software and would appreciate some insights from the community.

My understanding is that virtual ward software is a digital platform that enables healthcare organisations to monitor, manage, and support patients remotely while maintaining clinical oversight outside traditional hospital settings.

For those who have worked with OpenEMR:

Can OpenEMR integrate with virtual ward software?
What integration methods (FHIR, HL7, REST APIs, etc.) are commonly used?
Are there any best practices or challenges to be aware of?

I’d appreciate any experiences or recommendations. Thank you!
