MCAP Diagnostic - Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust

MCAP Case Study
Written By Dylan Coe

ISSUE

 

MCAP data showed that 15 - 17 patients per month across the surgical wards were delayed due to not having a discharge plan documented. These were non-qualified patients - ready for discharge.

SOLUTION

 

The initiative was to appoint a ‘Consultant / Surgeon of the Week’ underpinned with MCAP live data. This data has enabled them to focus on those patients who are ready for discharge but delayed due to this reason.

OUTCOME

 

The initiative has resulted in bed day savings and has impacted on improving processes within the hospital. The MCAP team has worked in partnership with the GDE (Global Digital Enabler) Team to streamline the discharge plan process. Delays due to missing discharge plan now a very rare occurrence at the hospital.
