Red Bag Evaluation - Use in Care Homes The HIN surveyed 31 Care Homes and held a focus group with care home managers Is the red bag being used? • Majority of care homes are using the red bag all of the time • In majority of cases, ambulance crews are aware of the red bag Reasons for not using red bag • Ambulance crews need to transfer quickly – cannot wait • Night staff have less resource / capacity Lewisham and Greenwich Red Bag “It makes a big difference (if the emergency is at night) as we have less staff on and the administrative staff are not there.” (Care Home Manager)
Care Homes – Perspectives on Discharge Two-thirds of care homes said Discharge Summaries are returned ‘sometimes’ on discharge, compared to a third who said they were ‘always’ returned “The only thing for us is, when they are discharged, there is no discharge letter, no documentation, the form from the hospital is always empty” [Care Home Manager]
Learning from Implementation – Care Home • Transition to new paperwork • Day vs Night callouts • Tracking down lost bags • Dissatisfaction due to continued poor discharge Lambeth Red Bag “ “We still get phone calls from the hospital, but it’s happening less now with the red bag. It’s an excellent system” Care Home Manager
Going forward… • Please do check if all your staff feel confident to complete all the standardised paperwork – night staff, agency staff too. • If a bag is lost or discharge papers are missing – please alert your CCG/LA commissioner straight away (monitoring form) • Let residents and relatives know about the red bag on admission and reminder at meetings • Ongoing work also happening at Hospital to improve the pathway • Report: https://healthinnovationnetwork.com/news/evaluation-into-red-bag-hospital-transfer-pathway/
