(1) CIC guidance defines Delayed Discharges as: Total number of patients aged 75 and over ready for discharge from an acute bed but still occupying an acute bed in a hospital (ie no longer needing acute clinical interventions), excluding those under the care of a psychiatric consultant and learning disabilities, because of the following principal reason:
awaiting assessment--assessment in progress, no care plan agreed.
awaiting SSD funding to residential/nursing home package--assessment completed but awaiting SSD funding.
awaiting transfer to non-acute NHS care other than in an acute bed in hospital (e.g. rehab or continuing care)--assessment completed but awaiting transfer to NHS funded non-acute bed in hospital, nursing, residential care or group home.
awaiting nursing/residential care home placement--care plan agreed but patient awaiting placement in a non-NHS-funded nursing home or residential care home--perhaps waiting for a place in a home of their choosing under the direction on choice.
awaiting domiciliary package--care plan agreed but awaiting services to be put in place to facilitate discharge.
