Helping Derby Hospitals NHS Trust deal with winter pressures
Recognising the challenges faced by most Acute Trusts in the NHS, the Chief Executive made winter performance the hospital’s number one priority for the coming season. The previous year, the Trust had suffered from variable performance against the A&E 4 hour standard. Consistent patient flow issues, compounded by a high level of delayed discharges and high bed occupancy, made managing efficient patient flow difficult.
Derby agreed that they required a system that would provide operational insight and a real time system that would support clinical staff in day to day activities was identified as a priority.
