Delayed hospital discharges and the trolley crisis
© 2022. The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland..
We audited use of acute hospital beds in Connolly Hospital over a 3-month period (January-March 2020) which coincided with increased provision of step-down (nursing home) beds. Our results show both ineffective and inefficient baseline uses of these acute beds. Increased step-down beds improve patient care by reducing the trolley count, shortening average length of stay and reducing waiting lists. These data confirm that more step-down beds are a high priority for our Health Service to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of our hospitals i.e. better care at less cost.
