NHS Central London CCG has recognised a concerning issue where patients, especially those with complex health needs, have unfortunately slipped through the cracks between the realms of health and social care. This gap in support has highlighted the urgent need for improved coordination and seamless integration across these crucial sectors. Efficiently coordinating social care and housing services, while incorporating step down/intermediate care programs and accessible housing design, is key to minimising the delayed transfer of care. This not only ensures timely discharge but also enhances patient outcomes. By prioritising these strategies, we can create a seamless transition for patients and improve overall healthcare delivery.
