100 Day challenge – #Home4Noon

The national health and social care discharge taskforce brings together partners from across health and social care to focus on opportunities to improve discharge. In particular, it aims to improve the outcomes for patients who no longer meet the ‘criteria to reside’ so they can be discharged from hospital, cared for in more appropriate settings, and to release much-needed capacity within acute providers.

Below are the ten best practice #ImprovingDischarge initiatives as part of a 100-day challenge, to support healthcare professionals in their delivery of quality and effective urgent and emergency care, striving to get patients #Home4Noon where it’s safe and appropriate to do so 👇
