About the project

Wait lists to go into hospital, excess bed nights in hospital and wait lists for care after discharge from hospital are topics with which we are all very familiar with. Hospital to Home (H2H) was a response to these pressures.

H2H digitises the discharge to assess process allowing one single version of truth for a person’s discharge journey from hospital through to them being assessed at home.

The first stage of this project will extend the functionality of H2H to include the four pathways of intermediate care:

  • Reablement
  • Crisis Response
  • Home Based
  • Bed Based

The second phase of the project will address the problem of interoperability. Interoperability is a key requirement of our customers and this project will develop an interoperability platform for H2H which will allow the solution to interoperate without favour. This will allow H2H to be the missing link between hospital Electronic Patient Records and Adult Social Care solutions.
