The issue of ‘bed blocking’ (delayed hospital discharges) is continuing to worsen across England and Scotland, contributing to long delays in A&E and even relapses in patient health. NHS Scotland has just received a £100M funding injection to help tackle the problem, yet, while there’s never one single magic bullet solution, in fact some of the most basic underlying factors can be easily resolved through simple IT.
The appointment management and electronic patient record (EPR) system, Tiara9, has successfully completed the e-Referrals (e-RS) / Choose & Book certification process, having run for more than 10 days without incident at its ‘First of Type’ site, Frimley Park Hospital.
