In addition; providing clinical oversight and care services to individuals within the existing intermediate care bed infrastructure, to support hospital discharges and reduce delayed transfers of care. It is expected that a named medical director /consultants will hold clinical responsibility and accountability for all patients under the care of the service, regardless of where they reside. The service provider will be held accountable for bed utilisation occupancy and patient flow key performance indicators across the health economy to ensure a fully integrated approach is adopted and pro-actively managed.

As clinical oversight and care provision is to be delivered across a number of locations and in partnership with a number of care providers, both in primary and secondary care, it is essential that an integrated approach is adopted to ensure that all available capacity is being utilised and patient flow is optimised.
