Number of adults discharged from acute hospital during the month to a place other than their normal place of residence (19970) Metric type
- Help text
- Local systems should agree a plan to improve outcomes across the Health and Wellbeing Board area for improving the proportion of people discharged home using data on discharge to their usual place of residence. The aim is to monitor ‘home first’ principles and inform service planning.
This measure is the number of hospital spells in acute beds where the patient aged 18 and over was discharged during the month to a place other than their usual place of residence. ‘Usual place of residence’ can include private homes or care homes, but should relate to where the person was living prior to their admission to hospital. It is based on patients aged 18 and over discharged during the month following a stay in an acute bed to their usual home. The data excludes those who have died in hospital, regular day/night attenders, and those with a zero length of stay.
This data is not currently collected at a local authority footprint in national reporting, so has been derived by the Better Care Fund team using information recorded through hospital patient administration systems, available through the Secondary Uses Service (SUS) database. This enables identification of the local authority footprint associated with the patient’s usual place of residence.
