The £500 million discharge fund will be given to local authorities and ICBs to introduce tailored solutions that speed up discharge and benefit patients. With over 21 years of experience in this area, an investment in Strata Health will pay dividends.

The Problem: Discharge Performance

The majority of delayed transfers of care are attributed to a delay in receiving suitable social care.

Data Source: NHSE Delayed Transfers of Care Data

What’s causing DTOC?

The most common reasons for delays are:

1. Lack of capacity within the residential or nursing care home setting (ARNHP, 25%)

2. The need to wait for a care package (ACP, 21%)

3. The need to wait for further non-acute care (AFNAC, 18%)

Figure: NHSE data analysis by Akeso shows delayed transfers of care in hospital days by cause since 2010/11.
