Abstract
Essential facts Delays in the discharge of patients from hospital place a huge burden on the NHS, says the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). Figures from NHS England show that in 2015, more than one million hospital days were lost due to delays. In September alone, 5,247 patients had their discharge delayed. The right support outside hospital can have a crucial effect on patients' wellbeing, speeding recovery and reducing the likelihood of readmission.Keywords
