5 Patient Flow and Escalation Management Policy (Operational Pressures Escalation Framework) 1 Introduction 1.1 Livewell Southwest (LSW) is committed to supporting the health and social care system to manage patient flow in and out of hospital. This document describes a series of schemes to support the patient flow across the whole system, and should be read in conjunction with wider system escalation plans for the system. 2 Purpose 2.1 This policy sets out LSW response to escalation and resilience planning and managing capacity across the system. It contains business as usual actions to maintain flow and our resilience plan to use in times of escalation across the system. This policy brings all resilience and escalation planning actions into one document. 3 Definitions 3.1 LSW: Livewell Southwest 3.2 IHDT: Integrated Hospital Discharge Team 3.3 UC-CCC: Urgent Care-Commissioning Control Centre 3.4 CCG: Clinical Commissioning Group 4 Duties & responsibilities 4.1 The Chief Executive is ultimately responsible for the content of all policies, implementation and review. 4.2 The Board of Director(s) have overall responsibility and accountability for ensuring resilience and capacity arrangements described in this policy are in place and effective within the organisation. The Devon A+E Delivery Board is represented at Director Level. 4.3 Responsibility of line managers All members of the organisation s Senior Management Team are responsible for the operational implementation and maintenance of resilience management arrangements in their individual areas of responsibility. 4.4 Responsibility of the Tactical Control Centre (TCC) The TCC lead will implement actions within the policy, dependent on organisational and system OPEL status on a daily basis and monitor the impact of actions taken to de-escalate. Page 5 of 20
6 4.5 Responsibility of all staff To work within the requirements of the policy. To report any clinical incidents that arise due to escalation actions as per incident reporting process. 5 Business as Usual, risk assessment and actions in OPEL that support Resilience across the system 5.1 LSW has a range of teams that support patient flow across the system. Actions taken in business as usual (OPEL1) and in escalation are described in section 7.5. Risk assessment around actions is described in Appendix A. 6 The Operational Pressures Escalation (OPEL) Framework 6.1 The purpose of this escalation framework is to describe the procedures for managing significant surges in demand across the system. The plan follows NHS England Operational Pressures Escalation (OPEL) Framework, October (Appendix B). 6.2 All communications within and across organisations will adhere strictly to four levels of escalation as set out in the National Guidance: Page 6 of 20
7 6.3 The OPEL levels replace the previous escalation descriptor levels of Green (OPEL 1), Amber (OPEL 2), Red (OPEL 3) and Black (OPEL 4). 7. Escalation Management and Process 7.1 Each organisation is responsible for defining their triggers and actions within the organisational framework in terms of their internal responses at each level of escalation. If their escalation plans seek or require mutual-aid or recognised assistance from another organisation this must be formally agreed with that organisation and set up with trigger levels and communication channels and signed-off by the relevant A+E board. NHS England guidance to define escalation levels and triggers is described in Appendix B. 7.2 Each organisation will submit a self-declared OPEL Status based on their Organisational triggers to the Urgent Care-Commissioning Control Centre D-CCG.urgentcare-control@nhs.net by 10.00hrs. Within LSW this is completed by the Tactical Control Centre team. 7.3 Each A+E Board is responsible for setting the locality triggers for the locality, so that there is a clear equivalency and understanding between organisations for communication purposes. The Chair of the A+E Board will assure the CCG that there are robust plans agreed by organisations and will delegate responsibility to named officers (and deputies) for examining OPEL self-declared reports from organisations and set the OPEL for the Locality. Previous guidance states this should be based on triggers across at least two organisations for the locality. The Locality OPEL must be confirmed to the UC-CCC by 10.30am. 7.4 The UC-CCC will publish, by 11am a Monday to Friday a daily dashboard with the Locality declared OPEL status. On the basis of these three locality OPELs the UC- CCC will declare a CCG-wide OPEL communicating this clearly to CCG on-call directors and NHS E along with the planned Escalation Management. 7.5 LSW Local Triggers and Actions: OPEL 1 (All statements to be met for OPEL 1) Community capacity available across the system: Alternatives to admission (A2A) running as planned opening and staffing capacity: Community Crisis Response Team open as planned Acute Care at Home running as planned Robin unit running as planned OOH DN running as planned with 2 overnight teams Acute GP running with 3 GPs across AGP and Robin Planned community hospitals discharges (general beds) >2 D2A capacity (Home first and bedded) No infection control outbreaks across LSW services Page 7 of 20

18 Appendix A: Risks to Consider when taking OPEL actions: Action Benefit of undertaking this action Risk of this action Instruct discharge teams to only focus on same day discharges. Implement additional escalation team by redirecting staff from community and alternatives to admission teams from their planned clinical work to pull additional discharges. Consider AGP in ED supporting decision making (to be agreed with AGP Clinical Director). Increase in same day discharges. Increase in same day discharges. Primary care support to ED to support streaming and community alternatives. DTOCs will increase as the more complex cases that are already delayed will not be worked on. LoS for more complex cases will increase. A2A services will not have usual capacity so decrease in numbers avoided. D2A will not complete planned work so backlog will increase. Planned work will need to be rebooked alongside usual caseload next day. Risk that people in the community may deteriorate if planned visits are delayed or cancelled. Reduced AGP capacity may impact on an increase on ED attendances. Release Kingfisher Robin beds for general patients. Admit outliers across the MGH site into available OPMH, Stroke and Plym Neuro beds where there are no suitable/fit patients on waiting lists. Potential to increase bed capacity by 2 beds. Potential increase in discharges from the acute if any beds are available. Robin will not have beds to use for alternatives to admission which could result in an emergency admission. People will be in the wrong category of bed. CQC will need to be informed. NHSE will need to be informed if outliers on Plym as specialist commissioning. Risk to waiting lists as people become fit; will increase delays. Consider extending geographical Increase in same day discharges. Overall team capacity will be reduced due to increased Page 18 of 20
19 boundaries for community services if there travel time. are out of area referrals e.g. acute care at home. Cancel mandatory and essential training. Release additional staffing capacity. Staff will be out of date with training and will need to be rebooked. Page 19 of 20
