“Real re-design in action. Brilliantly clear example of how the bureaucracy has been tripping us up” .”
What We've Achieved
- The 5Q Cares Test has had dramatic results in hospitals across England, reducing delays to discharge home, improving the experience of the patient and making significant financial savings
- A health economic impact evaluation conducted at 2 of the implementation sites illustrates:
- Reduction in length of hospital stay for patients requiring 'complex' care upon discharge
- Reduction in number and length of assessments carried out
- Improved patient and staff satisfaction
- More appropriate 'sign-posting' to the right care
- Significant financial savings
