FAO Care Home providers
We received the following message from Dr Jenni Burton who is involved in the research on hospital admissions into care homes. She is asking for confidential information. This is not time-limited to the 30thSeptember as is the rest of this research.
Thanks to those who were able to join us to hear about the data-driven work to describe hospital discharges to care homes during the period March to May 2020.For the wider membership, the focus of the Public Health Scotland statistical publication on 30th September will be the information obtained from NHS and HSCP data. However, we recognise there are broader insights and experiences than the numbers alone and work on the data will also continue after the initial publication.
If any provider wishes to share their experiences of receiving residents from hospitals during this period, please get in touch with the team via [email protected]
This will be helpful to support the ongoing analysis work and learn lessons.
We will collate and use this information on an anonymous basis
Many thanks for your consideration and your time
Dr Jenni Burton.
