This case study from the FCA Bath Frailty Big Room looks at how improvements were made to ensure patients had the shortest possible length of stay on the pathway. The Bath Frailty Big Room was established against a backdrop of increasing demand on frail elderly services.

Growing pressure for the acute service often results in poor experience for patients and their families and increasing costs for commissioners. The RUH Frailty Model Flow Programme supports the Older Persons Short Stay Unit to improve the flow of patients through their care, in order to have the shortest possible stay.
