Introduction

What is the patient flow sustainability toolkit for?

This sustainability toolkit has been designed for teams working to improve patient care throughout the patient journey.

The toolkit provides a sustainability framework, risk screen and self assessment tool, additional reading material and key contact information.

What are the aims of the toolkit?

The Patient Flow Collaborative (PFC) aims to improve patient flow throughout the whole system by eliminating key bottlenecks identified by each health service. It is recognised that the successful innovations developed during the PFC will need to be sustained and become mainstream for organisations to continue to deliver timely and safe treatment for all the patients accessing the health care system.

Who should use the toolkit?

The toolkit will promote discussion and innovative solutions to support sustainability of initiatives undertaken in the PFC. Anyone with responsibility for managing patient care, units and departments will benefit from this tool.

How should the concepts be implemented from this toolkit?

Local Patient Flow Collaborative teams should discuss tools and concepts, adapting these to their local context.
