Lincoln BIG is asking people to not climb or touch the Christmas light fixtures Lincoln
There was an average of 100 people a day stuck in hospitals overnight in Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust in October who didn’t need to be there.
This amounted to an average of 100 patients each night who could have been discharged but NLAG hospitals were unable to. There were also 506 additional bed days of patients who had stayed seven plus days in hospital in the week starting October 24, and 354 additional bed days of patients who had been in hospital for three weeks or more. These are measured weekly on a daily snapshot basis.
He said that NLAG has been working on improvements to the discharge process, not just at hospital level but also with community services and social care partners so it is a “whole system approach”. “As part of our ongoing learning, we have run a programme called the Perfect Fortnight, which has, in principle, enabled us as a system to reinforce the best practice around discharge and discharge management, and make early clinical decisions about getting people home when they are ready.
“We are reducing hospital admission. In North Lincolnshire, our SPA GP is working with residential care homes, nursing homes and domiciliary care agencies in helping to avoid unnecessary hospital admissions for patients they are caring for.”
