Patient care - daily dynamic discharge approach: guidance

Essential Action 3

Essential Action 3: patient rather than bed management, considers the management of the patient journey which requires a multi-disciplinary approach to care management and a dynamic discharge process that includes access to diagnostics, appropriate assessment, alignment of medical and therapeutic care; home when ready, discharge in the morning, transfer care back to the GP.

The Daily Dynamic Discharge approach is a key element of Essential Action 3 . It is designed to ensure that local teams have everything they need to deliver tangible improvements in patient safety and flow.
