National long-stays dashboard
NHS Improvement is encouraging commissioners to use the long-stays dashboard as part of its drive to reduce hospital stays of three weeks or more.
Around a fifth of hospital beds are occupied by long-stay patients. National bodies want to see the figure cut by a quarter, which would make 4000 more beds available nationally. CCG staff can get hold of the dashboard by emailing nhsi.longstaysdashboard@nhs.net.
