Barwon Health opens new Medical Day Hub to improve patient care
Barwon Health is enhancing access to specialist medical services with the opening of a new Medical Day Hub at University Hospital Geelong.
Located on Level 3, the purpose-built facility brings together four existing services, Hospital in the Home, Early Access Clinic, Medical Day Stay Unit, and the Transit Lounge, into one integrated space.
Barwon Health’s Chief Executive, Frances Diver, said the consolidation would benefit both patients and staff.
“By co-locating these services in one modern facility, we can make it easier for patients to access day-based care, reduce duplication, and ensure our highly skilled teams can work together more efficiently,” Ms Diver said.
“This is about providing the right care, in the right place, at the right time, improving patient flow and reducing demand on inpatient beds and the Emergency Department.”
The new Medical Day Hub is designed to be future-proof, with spaces that are adaptable to evolving models of care and the needs of both patients and staff.
Patients already receiving care through the four integrated services will receive detailed information about the new location prior to their appointment.
