This will prevent long lies and use of emergency ambulance personnel for retrieval only. The aim of this procedure is to support clinicians to: • Understand the purpose and use of the device • Ensure the response using the device is appropriate. • Ensure clinical documentation is properly completed.
Standard Operating Procedure for Waiting List Validation (S108)
The purpose of this SOP is to set out the waiting list validation stages and process for staff and managers with services that have waiting lists. Across Planned Care and Specialist Services (PCSS) there are patients on waiting lists. To support the management of these waiting lists it is important to regularly validate those patients who are waiting to be offered an appointment. Services with waiting lists should consider the appropriateness and frequency of undertaking the three stages of waiting list validation, these being: technical, administrative, and clinical.
