How many slots do you need? • Write to those waiting over 10 weeks to request opt in • Add to those referred less than 10 weeks Example, Steve’s team • families on waiting list 223 • Asked 162 waiting over 10 weeks to opt in: 66 • Waiting less than 10 weeks 61 • Slots needed over next 8 weeks 66+ 61 = 127 • Slots found 123 So initially plan for 50% of those on Waiting list will attend initial contact.
How did they find slots? • Allowed clinicians to offer what they could • All owned the process • Offered any spare slot • Easier as someone else would see in Partnership • Partnership slots were calculated according to individual capacity
Outcome, Steve’s team 127 slots needed 123 slots found 93 booked appointment 85 came 24 closed after one appointment 6 referred elsewhere 1 professional consultation • 54 needed Partnership • 223 on waiting list turned into 54 needing treatment i.e. 24% Took 3 ½ months
