In some cases, the team will help prevent unnecessary admissions and in others, young people will be stepped down from tier 4 care through the LDA Hospital at Home team, shortening their inpatient admission. LDA Hospital at Home maximizes the use of new technology, provides care close to home, reduces admission, length of stay, waiting times and provides earlier discharge from inpatient care.
By managing the care pathway, we will ensure that children and young people are cared for in an inpatient setting or via an ‘out of hospital’ service as close to home as possible.
This will:
- Reduce the burden on families to travel long distances
- Enhance continued engagement with community clinical teams
- Encourage early therapeutic home leave
- Minimise length of stay avoid admission
