4 1. Intrductin What is Day Surgery? Day Surgery is when a patient is admitted t hspital, has surgery and is discharged n the same day. There is a wide range f nn-emergency surgical peratins that can be carried ut as day surgery. This has cnsiderable advantages fr patients, the public and the NHS: - Waiting times are shrter. There is less risk f cancellatin There is less disruptin t patient s lives and the cmfrt f recvering at hme There is reduced risk f crss infectin and less stress fr patients if they are nt mixed with the acutely ill It is mre efficient because prcedures can be scheduled mre predictably 1.1 Natinal Guidelines 2. Plicy Scpe The Department f Health NHS Plan (2000) and British Assciatin f Day Surgery (BADS) recmmendatins ( fr purchase f the directry) set a target that 75% f elective admissins shuld be perfrmed as a day case. There has been cnsiderable supprt and cmmitment frm the Department f Health in the Day Surgery: Operatinal Guide (Waiting, Bking and Chice, August 2002) and the NHS Innvatin and Imprvement Prgrammes (frmerly Mdernisatin Agency). This plicy cvers the patient jurney frm decisin t admit t discharge f day case patients; it includes referral t pre-assessment, pre-assessment, status n waiting list, admissin planning and admissin prcess, discharge planning and fllw up care. It allws fr patients chice at all pints f the patient jurney. 3. Aim f the Plicy The Aim f the Plicy is t ensure that all emplyees f Gateshead Health NHS Fundatin Trust wh are invlved in Day Case pathways are infrmed and aware f the patient pathway and underpinning prcesses. This will ensure patients all receive equitable access t care and the best pssible experience f day surgery in a safe envirnment, which reflects individual needs and ensures that services are f the highest quality and adhere t the highest standards f care.
