Patient Flow

Patients will consistently receive timely care and there will be no avoidable delays.

Our focus for this year:

• Focus on frailty - working with our system partners to deliver care in the most appropriate setting and support patients to leave our hospital when they no longer need our services
• Reducing length of stay to support effective utilisation of resources through using technology to support modern medical and surgical practice, working with primary care to ensure appropriate referrals, and minimising internal delays to care delivery
• Improve theatre productivity to maximise the number of patients we can treat through our resources
• Utilising Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) data and principles we will apply best practice to reduce variation
