Patient Flow Co-ordinator

2 weeks ago

StokeonTrent, United Kingdom University Hospital of North Midlands NHS Trust Full time

Job summary

The V W Acute brings together acute and community nursing services, allowing for development of knowledge, skills and experience in a varied and exciting speciality. By supporting early discharges from hospital, as well as hospital avoidance from the community rapid intervention services, we are able to provide subacute care for patients in the comfort of their own homes. Benefits of this approach include the avoidance of deconditioning, ensuring that family involvement and independence is promoted, and other services can run alongside the virtual ward such as care agencies which in turn minimises disruption to the patients' lives.

As the patient flow co-ord you will work alongside the Senior Liaison Practitioner, clinicians, nurses & VW Matrons, to facilitate effective use of VW Beds.

This includes the collation of records and data so that utilisation can be reported effectively, and the promotion of the VW across the acute trust to ensure effective patient flow and bed utilisation.

You will be expected to perform ward walks with the liaison practitioner, to assist in identifying patients suitable for the VW and to ensure that data is available for daily site and operational meetings. This will also include close working with the clinical flow team and complex discharge team, to assist in tracking and discharge planning to ensure timely and effective referrals to the VW.

Main duties of the job

Care at Home, ensuring that such information is available to the VW Matron, Operational Manager and Senior Patient Flow Teams.
