Other Intermediate Care Waiting Time Measurement

An Other Intermediate Care Waiting Time Measurement  is a REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD.

Other Intermediate Care Waiting Time Measurement  allows monitoring of waiting times for PATIENTS that are deemed not clinically appropriate for the Other Intermediate Care Within 2 Days Waiting Time Measurement.

The Other Intermediate Care Waiting Time Measurement  is for Intermediate Care other than Crisis Response Intermediate Care, i.e. Reablement Intermediate Care, Home-based Intermediate Care  and Community Bed-based Intermediate Care.

Reablement Intermediate Care:

The waiting time is the duration between the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD START DATE  and REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD START TIME  and REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END DATE and REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END TIME.

The Reablement Intermediate Care Waiting Time Measurement:

• REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD START DATE

   and REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD START TIME:

  • The PATIENT is identified by a  CARE PROFESSIONAL or Social Care Worker as needing reablement to enable care to be delivered in their own home as a safe alternative to hospital or Community Bed-based Intermediate Care.

    • For step up care, the need for the Reablement Intermediate Care Service is identified for a community-located  PATIENT by a community-based CARE PROFESSIONAL  or Social Care Worker

    • For step down care, the need for the Reablement Intermediate Care Service is identified for an acute hospital-located  PATIENT  based on a "medically optimised for discharge" decision making process that determines care in hospital is no longer needed.

• REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END DATE

  and REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END TIME:

  • The CARE CONTACT DATE  and CARE CONTACT TIME  of the first face-to-face contact from a reablement worker in their own home.

Home-based Intermediate Care:

The waiting time is the duration between the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD START DATE  and REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD START TIME  and REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END DATE and REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END TIME.

The Home-based Intermediate Care Waiting Time Measurement:

• REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD START DATE

   and REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD START TIME:

  • The PATIENT is identified by a  CARE PROFESSIONAL or Social Care Worker as needing Home-based Intermediate Care  as a safe alternative to hospital or Community Bed-based Intermediate Care.

    • For step up care, the need for the Home-based Intermediate Care Service is identified for a community-located  PATIENT by a community-based CARE PROFESSIONAL  or Social Care Worker.

    • For step down care, the need for the Home-based Intermediate Care Service  is identified for an acute hospital-located  PATIENT  based on a "medically optimised for discharge" decision making process that determines care in hospital is no longer needed.

• REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END DATE

  and REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END TIME:

  • The CARE CONTACT DATE  and CARE CONTACT TIME  of the first face-to-face contact the PATIENT  receives from an Intermediate Care Service CARE PROFESSIONAL  in their own home.

Community Bed-based Intermediate Care:

The waiting time is measured to ensure there are 2 midnights or fewer between the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD START DATE  and REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD START TIME  and REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END DATE and REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END TIME.

The Community Bed-based Intermediate Care  Waiting Time Measurement:

• REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD START DATE

   and REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD START TIME:

  • The PATIENT is identified by a  CARE PROFESSIONAL or Social Care Worker as needing Community Bed-based Intermediate Care  as a safe alternative to acute hospital care.

    • For step up care, the need for the Community Bed-based Intermediate Care is identified for a community-located  PATIENT by a community-based CARE PROFESSIONAL  or Social Care Worker.

    • For step down care, the need for the Community Bed-based Intermediate Care  is identified for an acute hospital-located  PATIENT  based on a "medically optimised for discharge" decision making process that determines care in hospital is no longer needed.

• REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END DATE

  and REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END TIME:

  • The PATIENT  is admitted to a community-commissioned Hospital Bed.
