| Annotation | Previous checklists bearing some similarity to this toolkit were produced by the Department of Health's (DH) Health and Social Care Joint Unit/ Change Agent Team. This toolkit focuses on the practical steps that health and social care professionals can take to improve discharge. Changing the way in which discharge occurs for the 80% of patients who are classified as simple discharges will have a major impact on effective use of bed capacity and improve patient experience. The toolkit includes a 10-step guide, factsheets and case studies with information about how others have made changes. (RH). |
