2nd Virtual Patient Flow Congress: The Urgent & Emergency Care of the Future
In September 2020 Convenzis will be hosting the 2nd Virtual Patient Flow Congress on the Convenzis App.
Increasing numbers of people are getting the health care help they need by phone or online without having to spend time in A&E or call an ambulance.
The NHS 111 urgent care advice line has saved over 12 million unnecessary A&E visits, new figures from NHS England and Improvement have revealed.
This is a great achievement and a step in the right direction to help manage the demand that A&E departments are facing nationally, but there is a long way to go to ensure sustainability for emergency departments.
NHS England is taking this matter seriously and is currently testing new rapid care measures for patients with the most urgent mental health and physical health needs,
NHS doctors and nurses are also using Skype to help older people get faster care, reduce avoidable ambulance callouts and help people stay out of the hospital. The on-call Skype NHS team takes around 8,000 calls a year from wardens working in sheltered accommodation, care home staff and community teams looking for expert support for their residents.
Research has identified 8 potential areas of improvement that can further help reduce the demand faced by emergency departments:
- Improved access to information on the services available for patients
- Fragmentation of services and clarity of pathways
- Improved patient discharge processes
- Discharged Support
- Increased access to primary care was highlighted as an area that required change. Clinicians engaged highlighted the
- Strengthen primary care to deliver care closer to home and reduce activity within unplanned care settings
