Our Aim - Driving Best Practice
• Key improvement messages
• Demonstrated using simulation
• Uses default data for immediate testing
• Local hospital data can be uploaded

Answering Questions
• What is my bed occupancy %?
• How many beds am I using?
• What are my wait times for beds?
• How do improvement scenarios impact on these results?

Parameter 2 – Length of StayNumber of midnight stays by hour and day of the week

Improvement Scenario 1
What if GP referrals arrived earlier in the day?
![Page 10: Acute Bed Simulation Russell Emeny, Fiona Lindsay, Claire Cordeaux Thanks to Terry Young, Sally Brailsford and Joe Viana](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649cb95503460f9497fcd6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Improvement Scenario 2
What if our ambulatory care patients were treated elsewhere?
•Select a percentage of
admissions classed as
“ambulatory” (default 25%)
•Select likely impact on number
of midnight stays
![Page 11: Acute Bed Simulation Russell Emeny, Fiona Lindsay, Claire Cordeaux Thanks to Terry Young, Sally Brailsford and Joe Viana](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649cb95503460f9497fcd6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Improvement Scenario 3
Patients who stay for less than 2 midnights
•Research suggests 65% of patients
![Page 12: Acute Bed Simulation Russell Emeny, Fiona Lindsay, Claire Cordeaux Thanks to Terry Young, Sally Brailsford and Joe Viana](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649cb95503460f9497fcd6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
SIMUL8 Corporation | SIMUL8.com | [email protected]
Move patient discharges forward to earlier in the day
Improvement Scenario 4

Improvement Scenario 5
Reduce 14 night length of stay for over 75s
![Page 14: Acute Bed Simulation Russell Emeny, Fiona Lindsay, Claire Cordeaux Thanks to Terry Young, Sally Brailsford and Joe Viana](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649cb95503460f9497fcd6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
SIMUL8 Corporation | SIMUL8.com | [email protected]
Which scenario has the most impact?
1. GP referrals earlier?
2. Ambulatory care treated elsewhere? (25% of admissions)
3. Increase proportion of stays that are less than 2 midnights?
4. Move 50% of discharges earlier in the day?
5. Reduce 14 night stays for over 75s? (25% of admissions)

7 Day Working – Current Question
• How to model this?
• Staff available 7 days a week to make discharge decisions
• Use a Monday profile (furthest from the weekend)
• What would you expect to see?

7 Day Working – Current Question
Actually increases capacity required

Why?
Looking at 0-7 midnight stays – around 75% of admissions
![Page 19: Acute Bed Simulation Russell Emeny, Fiona Lindsay, Claire Cordeaux Thanks to Terry Young, Sally Brailsford and Joe Viana](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649cb95503460f9497fcd6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Impact of the weekend
Number of midnight
stays appear to be
driven by a push to
discharge on Friday

Continuing the Work
• More questions emerging
• Informing national debate on emergency care and 7 day working
• Disseminate to hospitals
• Seeking support
• Link with research interests?
