Capacity Tracker- mobilising across the Midlands, South West and South East
A website to improve patient flow and minimise delayed transfers of care, is being mobilised across the Midlands, South East and South West areas. Capacity Tracker was developed by NHS NECS, NHS England (North), Local Authorities and care home managers. When the decision has been made that a care home is needed it makes the process of finding a placement easy and it’s free for care homes to use. The Capacity Tracker has been successfully deployed in 37 health and social care systems across North England, Berkshire and Devon. Mobilisation across the three regions has already started and the ambition is to maximise care home uptake as soon as possible, to help alleviate winter pressure.
Register to use the Capacity Tracker by visiting: https://carehomes.necsu.nhs.uk/. Or to find out more information and view our case studies and visit: https://www.necsu.nhs.uk/services/system-wide-transformation/capacity-tracker/
