Patient Gateway
The Gateway System has been designed in partnership with Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to follow a patient's journey from Acute settings to Community short-term support locations. Are you looking for a digital solution to seamlessly manage patient flow, enable collaboration and communication and improve discharge pathways? Learn more about Gateway below.
The Gateway System
The Gateway System displays the flow of discharges over the past week including those being supported by the Transfer of Care Hub (TOCH), as well as identifying the planned discharges for the next 72 hours. This display of real-time data on demand and capacity for acute and community gateways ensures the most up-to-date information is always reflected. The use of this platform enables commissioners in providing adequate services to support hospital flow and allocating resource effectively, including the ability to monitor utilisation of community provision.
