Lincolnshire Integrated Care System discharge campaign service user questionnaire

Lincolnshire Integrated Care System (ICS) is a partnership of organisations that have come together to plan and deliver joined up health and care services, and improve the lives of people who live and work in the area. Lincolnshire ICS wants to ensure that patients are discharged in a safe, appropriate and timely way.

It’s much better for a patient’s physical and mental wellbeing to leave acute hospital as soon as they are medically optimised for discharge. There’s lots of evidence to support this. Yet each year, nearly 350,000 patients spend more than three weeks in acute hospitals.

This is why it’s so important we do everything we can to enable our patients, particularly older people, to continue their recovery in their own home environment or, for those few who cannot go straight home from hospital, within a care location more suited to their needs.

 Please tell us your views on patient discharges from our acute hospitals by completing this survey so we can feed this into the project.
