We see the creation of a new integrated provider as an opportunity to:
"shift the centre of gravity from hospital to community and develop fully integrated care pathways"
Our principal target outcomes are:
The best health outcomes for patients - delivering evidence based care, using best practice An excellent patient experience - measured by regularly asking patients what they think Improving efficiency - so we provide high quality, low cost services for commissioners Being a best employer - so that care is delivered by a flexible and skilled and motivated workforce
Our emerging strategy for the new integrated FT is:
To be the first choice provider of community and hospital healthcare in County Durham and Darlington
As an integrated acute and community organisation, we have three areas of core business:
Prevention and enablement Community services Planned and emergency hospital care
We plan to embed prevention and enablement in all of our pathways of care, taking advantage of all of our touch points with patients and service users. We want to streamline community and hospital services to provide a seamless service with less reliance on hospital admission.
