Update Safe for Discharge Status
In order to facilated a timely discharge, the acute trust should notify the parties responsible for supporting the discharge (e.g. Local Authotity and Community Health) as soon as the patient no longer meets any of the clinical criteria to reside in Hospital and any required rehabilitation in the acute hospital has been completed.
Every person on every general ward should be reviewed on a twice daily ward round against the following clinical criteria:
- Requiring ITU or HDU care?
- Requiring oxygen therapy/NIV?
- Requiring intravenous fluids?
- NEWS2 > 3? (clinical judgement required in persons with AF and/or chronic respiratory disease)
- Diminished level of consciousness where recovery realistic?
- Acute functional impairment in excess of home/community care provision?
- Last hours of life?
- Requiring intravenous medication > b.d. (including analgesia)?
- Undergone lower limb surgery within 48hrs?
- Undergone thorax-abdominal/pelvic surgery with 72 hrs?
- Within 24hrs of an invasive procedure? (with attendant risk of acute life- threatening deterioration)
Any person not meeting the clinical criteria to reside (see Hospital Discharge Service: Policy and Operating Model (Annex A)) and who has no requirement for further rehabilitation in the acute hospital, will be deemed safe for discharge.
