Abstract

This submission relates to the issue of "meeting the needs of rapidly discharged hospital patients with a higher level of complexity".

It is derived from a research project that investigated a pioneering early discharge from hospital scheme known as 'Working Together – the ASSIST' project in Nottinghamshire.

In the post Covid-19 era we need better and more advanced systems for delivering post-hospital accommodation, medicine management and out-of-hospital support. This project highlights the evidence and results of doing it differently. We need to be better at keeping hospital occupancy down and a key way of doing that is minimizing delayed transfers of care and optimising care in the most appropriate setting.
