The Government have produced revised Hospital Discharge Operation and Urgent Community Response Models with an expectation that they are implemented at pace of the next year. The primary focus of both models is to develop systems that can rapidly mobilise health and social care resources to provide same day hospital discharge for patients that are medically optimised with going home as the default option and equally respond to urgent community care within 2 hours to keep people in their own homes. We are producing a paper that will describe a proposed high level delivery model and will be looking for the JCB to support the described direction of travel
