1-year Project

Purpose of Project• Understand current patient pathway and

develop approximate computer simulation

• Evaluate how emergency admissions to hospitals can be reduced

• Help Improve the patient journey through new integrated interventions

Purpose of Workshop

• Work together to find ways of developing the system from a user perspective

How?• Summary of the service• Computer simulation• Discuss patient journey

– Group work– Discussion– Feed back

• Measuring patient satisfaction

7 Days service• Out of hours local GP service at weekends• Pilot scheme• Different services for West and East

Leicestershire• For patients identified at high risk of

admission • Support for housebound patients and care

homes
