A new animation has been launched to highlight the support available to implement a programme based on communication, co-ordination and compassion.
Lanarkshire has been one of four national ‘pathfinder sites’ for the discharge without delay (DwD) programme. That means work being pioneered locally is being used to inform and shape the now nationwide approach to help prevent delays and reduce length of stay in hospital.
Last week, Pulse Online published a short animated clip to provide a clear overview of what the programme is, why we are doing it and how it is based on a rich tradition of partnership working. Read the article at: https://www.nhslanarkshire.scot.nhs.uk/pulse-new-dwd-animation/
We know, however, that for health and care staff, we also know times have been challenging. There has not been much time to catch breath and the prospect of change may seem exhausting. We cannot make the challenges of delay go away – but by working together we can exert control and influence over it.
There are several supports in place to support the implementation of the DwD programme – as this new animation shows.
