Video to support our Optimal Discharge Planning Target Operating Model (TOM)

The video below highlights the following:

• Discharge Pathways: The model introduces four pathways to identify and address the specific discharge needs of each patient, ensuring that every step is tailored to their situation.
• Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) Approach: The model emphasises the importance of early and continuous discharge planning involving the entire MDT, ensuring all patients receive the right care at the right time.
• Key Principles: Effective discharge planning involves early patient and family engagement, detailed assessments, and proactive arrangements to ensure a seamless discharge process.
• Patient-Centred Care: Our goal is to make every discharge a positive experience for our patients, supporting their recovery and reducing their time in hospital.

The video will also guide you through the roles and responsibilities within the MDT and the activities that ensure timely and safe discharges. By working together and applying these principles, we can enhance patient care, reduce hospital occupancy, and create capacity for new admissions.
