Optimising capacity in health systems under pressure


No categories selected.

Summary

These are the learnings from tools and the techniques used during the establishment of NHS Louisa Jordan. This was in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It has much to offer NHS Scotland. Especially in the high pressured environments we experience in winter.

Optimising capacity in health systems under pressure is a toolkit. We designed it to support health boards in an increasingly pressurised environment. It includes:

  • the ‘Seven Questions’ (7Qs): a sequential planning tool which can support the structure and development of a plan
  • the ‘Rehearsal of Concept’ (RoC): drill techniques to develop, rehearse and implement any new system
  • a ‘Check-in for Change’: a tool that promotes a continuous learning system
