High impact change 7 : discharge without delay

Add to favourites

This High Impact Change primarily focusses on preventing delay in patient journeys through early and effective planning for discharge with the patient, their family and carers taking a ‘home first’ ethos, and the adoption of a ‘planned date of discharge’ (PDD) approach.

Aims:

  • Optimise discharge without any delays 
  • Improve patient experience by simplifying the discharge process
  • Improve length of stay by discharging patients on planned day of discharge
  • Optimising Flow by aligning capacity with demand
