The NHS scheme in Hull aims to reduce the number of admissions for frail patients.
Frail patients in Hull are receiving medical care in their own homes through a "virtual wards" scheme.
Dr Libby Lloyd, who works as a consultant geriatrician at the centre, said not sending people to hospital helps improve rehabilitation time after treatment."If you change environment and you are in hospital where there's lots of noise and it's completely different and your family aren't around, you are at an increased risk of delirium.
Every day a virtual ward round is held with a video conference involving consultants, GPs, nurses, pharmacists and other medical workers.
