Admission Discharge and Transfer Policy for DCHS Community Hospitals (P56)
This Policy helps define the purpose of the treatment provided by our Community Hospitals and how to access these services. It does not apply to our Older Peoples Mental Health Wards or Learning Disability Service beds as they are accessed via a separate protocol. The Policy sets clinical standards to improve the admission of appropriate patients. It encompasses the whole patient pathway including the Admission, Discharge and Transfer processes of these services. The Policy aims to support well-organised, safe and timely admissions, discharges and transfers for all patients through appropriate planning with the patient and their relatives / carers.
