A team from the Trust presented a poster display of their caseload review tool at the Queen’s Nursing Institute (QNI) Annual Conference and were awarded first prize and praised for its innovative approach.
Launched in February, the District Nurse Caseload Review Tool was developed by the Trust in order to create a standardised approach to reviewing what were ‘unwieldy’ district nurse caseloads to ensure they are all managed and run efficiently, effectively, safely and where possibly innovatively, to support high quality care for all.
This project co-ordinates and supports patients with an approach which considers in-patient care and community support, using an extended multi-disciplinary approach including general practitioners, nursing, therapy and social care input, supplemented by specialist/secondary care involvement where appropriate.
The aim is to manage many of these patients in the community without the requirement for frequent unplanned hospital admissions.
