Patient Discharge Bridging Service

Description

This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice.<br/><br/>A Patient Discharge Bridging Service for ESHT. The service supports patients who are medically optimised for discharge and do not meet the criteria to remain in hospital, but whose long-term local authority care package is not yet in place.<br/><br/>The aim of the supply of care service is to enable timely, safe discharge from hospital, reduce unnecessary delays, improve patient flow, and ensure continuity of care until statutory services assume responsibility. Working collaboratively with ESHT, Local Authorities, and community partners to ensure safe handover and continuity of care and ensuring our teams are integrated into the ESHT teams to ensure that happens.
