Multidisciplinary team reduces readmissions by 67%

31 July, 2017 By Louise Nash

The Frail Elderly Pathway team was created to minimise days spent by frail older people in hospital and reduce likelihood of readmissions, using a patient-centred, holistic, cross sector approach. Expansion of the team and reorganisation of wards has enabled the team to improve efficiencies. A recent review shows that the team is preventing admissions from ED, reducing length of stay, reducing readmissions and promoting self-care.

Why our case studies are unique:

Each award goes through a rigorous judging process by impartial judges, who are chosen for their knowledge of and relevance to the award category. Every year we receive more than 3000 entries for our five awards programs. Approximately 900 of these are shortlisted via online judging. These shortlisted organisations then present their project to a panel of senior healthcare leaders.

What do key NHS leaders say?

“There are big risks to us if we don’t share best practice. We want a breath of fresh air, we want to change. There is absolutely a financial cost if we don’t search for best practice – we need this to take our projects to the board.”

Medical Director, Northumbria Healthcare

“With the HSJ Solutions product you would have confidence that the outcomes have already been through a judging process and it was not just a self-elected case study. If I had to choose between the two I would choose the one with the most scrutiny.”

Quality, Innovation, Productivity & Prevention Director, Bridgewater Community Healthcare
