A report by Audit Scotland on behalf of the Auditor General for Scotland and the Accounts Commission which has the key finding that solving the problem of delayed discharges needs action across all parts of the health and community care system. Findings are presented from a project carried out during 2004 with the Tayside Partnership and ISD to build an interactive whole systems model for Tayside which looked at ways to reduce the number of delayed discharges for older people. This project involved testing out various strategies that could be adopted in different parts of Tayside’s local care system. A high-level review involving the analysis of national data and interviews with delayed discharge managers and teams is presented in terms of analysis of national delayed discharge data, national measures to tackle delayed discharges, local measures undertaken by partnerships, and how taking a whole systems approach would help. Three out of every four people delayed in hospital are waiting for community care assessments to be completed or community care arrangements to be put in place.
