Early Engagement

The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust - Community services covers both planned and unplanned care in the community. This involves district nursing, urgent care, therapies, planned care, and intermediate care.

To comply with the NHS England mandate to implement standards to achieve a 2 hour response time for urgent care, we wish to implement a system that provides e-scheduling functionality, and capacity and demand modelling to support data collection, benchmarking and reporting for the service. E-scheduling functionality needs to cover all of the above named community services.

The Trust manages 3 sites (Wakefield, Dewsbury, Pontefract), as well as community services. Community services consists of approx. 420 staff, of which 300 are clinical. These are split in to the following:

• 6 planned care nursing teams (networks)
• 3 therapy bases
• 1 Intermediate care team
• 1 urgent care response team
• Single point of contact
• Triage hub

This means we therefore have 13 locations across the Wakefield district from which staff work from.
