Description
There is a requirement to strip out and refurbish the B12 Neurology Ward at Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust to enhance productivity and efficiency. Key objectives of this include reducing bed days lost due to prolonged stays and bariatric patient admissions, currently totalling 329 annually. The scheme directly addresses patient safety and fire safety risks. By mitigating the risk of closure of 17 beds, significant benefits are anticipated:
• Prevention of loss of 6,205 bed days annually
• Improvement in ED 4-hour performance by 6%
• Enhanced ambulance offload times and overall hospital flow
• Better patient experience
• More efficient clinical to non-clinical space ratio.
Implementation is expected to contribute to improved operational performance and patient outcomes at the Trust.
