The Problem
Reliance on Surge Beds – 1277 occupied overnight bed days
in 2014 Winter
Large queues in the Emergency Department – up to 26
admitted patients
Patients were scattered across the facility despite a
Homewards strategy

What did we do differently?
• Two audits – WAISH and WOTL
• Winter planning meetings, ED, inpatient teams and Executive.
• Used data to inform decisions
• Built on organisational culture, patient flow strategies and models of care in 2014
• Initial hypothesis – We needed more outpatient clinics or to open a winter ward
• I was wrong

What were we measuring?
LOS > 9 days

June-September 2014 -1277 overnight surge bed days were used, 2015 - 192 overnight surge bed days
Discharge Liaison Nurse
Transfer of Care CNS = 14 -18% of weekly discharges on a weekend.
Efficient patient journey board rounding = increased collaboration in the multidisciplinary team
Improved allocation and accuracy of clinician defined EDD
Re emphasis on the use of the Discharge Lounge
Catchcry: LOS > 9 days

Early Intervention Group
• Improved multidisciplinary teamwork in managing patients with a difficult transfer of care
• Identification of frequent barriers to discharge (‘waiting for whats’)
• Well informed Executive on transfer of care issues occurring at ward level and support where required.
• Reduced length of stay - 924 bed day reduction for LOS greater than 30 days

Geriatric Outreach Program
• The 173 patients that were seen and treated by the Geriatrician in the nursing home avoided further presentations to the Emergency Department and possible admissions.
• This resulted in a decrease of 2.27 days of the ALOS for nursing home patients over winter 2015 as compared to winter 2014.
