I’ve been a hospital manager for >15 years - much of that time spent managing flow and urgent care - and it’s never been a harder or more dispiriting job.
But there are still some EASY things that will always improve flow if we focus on getting them right every day.

#1 - “EARLY”
Patients admitted before lunch stay in hospital ~1-2 days less than those admitted in the PM.
Patients discharged home in the day have more chance of staying there.
Getting people admitted EARLY and home EARLY is important

#2 ASSESSMENT
Admitting to hospital should always be a last resort so we have to make sure we have effective ASSESSMENT pathways in place, reliable senior decision making in ASSESSMENT areas and keep ASSESSMENT areas free for that purpose - avoid bedding down at all costs!

A lovely presentation from Dr Pam Seenan on her team’s work with the Beatson Oncologists to improve care of older people with cancer.
Geriatric Oncology is a whole new sub specialty.
Call the COPS! (Cancer of Older People) team.
