This will support the trust in being able to admit patients who require an acute mental health bed and will also support with the trust being able to step patients down from our psychiatric intensive care unit to improve flow across our entire bed base.
The Five Year Forward View for Mental Health programme expressed the ambition to eliminate inappropriate out of area placements for non-specialist acute care by 2021. To ensure that the trust continues to deliver on this ambition set by NHS England, the provider of these 5 beds needs to be within the geographical boundary of Leicestershire and Rutland so that patients remain in their local area and therefore allowing the maintaining of relationships with family, carers and friends.as part of delivering on this ambition. NHS providers and commissioners are required to report the use of non-specialist services acute care via the Mental Health Specialist Data Set (MHSDS).
In identifying a suitable provider, the practice within the trust which has been agreed and established through the trusts Bed Management Standard Operating Procedure states when considering the use of additional beds the trust will only place patients in providers with a latest CQC rating of "Good".
