Over-crowding in A&E Why it’s a very bad thing • After admission through a crowded A&E 43% increased chance of dying at 10 days • A&E stay of 4-8 hours increases inpatient length of stay by 1.3 days • A&E stay >12 hours increases inpatient length of stay by 2.35 days
What can be done prior to A&E • GP Access • Quality Premium (GP QOF) • Ambulatory Care Conditions • A&E usage • Anticipating urgent care demand • Improved care in nursing homes • STICS - better management of LTC • RAID - rapid, effective and safe access to mental health services
What can be done in hospital • Ambulatory Care Conditions pathway • GP in A&E? • White board system to track patients • Review spilt of beds between medical and surgical specialties • Rapid response clinics • Psychological liaison service within an Urgent Care hub
Discharge & out of hospital care • Hospital discharge process and communication • ‘Time to think’ beds • Single point of contact for social care • Reviewing current provision of self management education and support
NHS 111 update • National free-to-call memorable number • Single point of contact for urgent care • ‘Talk before you walk’ • NE system is working (unlike others) • Teething problem being ironed out • Opportunities still to be realised
