System Challenges
System Challenge - Winter 2017/18 Over Winter 2017/18 the Warrington Health & Social Care economy faced significant pressures in meeting and managing the health and care needs of our local population. This was particularly evident for those patients over 65+ with conditions associated with Frailty. Our collective ability to provide timely access to high quality care and deliver good outcomes for patients became increasingly difficult as our health and care systems struggled to find the capacity to meet the demand and complexity of our ageing population. This was reflected in overall A&E performance, long Decisions To Admit (DTAs), high numbers of medical outliers, consistently running at 2 wards + of escalation beds (peaked at 96 beds) and patients frequently being placed into spot purchased transitional care beds.
Increase in delayed discharges and delays in decisions to admit over winter 2017/18 Delayed transfers of care Decision to admit (4-12 hours)
System Challenge On Average 13% of the WHHFT hospital beds are utilised to manage what are patients with conditions associated with Frailty Bed occupancy rates are high at WHHFT at an average 97% which is a significant safety, quality and financial risk The red area on represents the escalation in terms of bed base at WHHFT
