Background Information:
This document introduces the NHS Quality Improvement Scotland (NHS QIS) Draft Standards for Healthcare Services Used by Older People in NHSScotland. The standards follow four key parts of the patient journey identified as:
1. Avoiding admission - These standards focus on services in place that could respond quickly to provide health promotion, assessment, care and rehabilitation for older people at home, whatever their current residential setting.2. Admission and rehabilitation - These standards focus on assessment, acute care, care planning and rehabilitation.
3. Transfer and discharge - These standards focus on safe discharge home and supporting people after discharge.
4. Supporting services - These standards focus on multi-agency planning of services used by older people.
When finalised, the standards will be used by NHS QIS to assess performance in areas throughout NHSScotland where services are used by older people.
