Patient Flow Hack: Bradford & Airedale  What is a hack?  A ‘hack’ is based on the traditional concept of a ‘Hackathon’, whereby we bring people together and use their combined knowledge, wisdom and expertise to find new solutions to old problems over an intensive period of time. What is the problem?  The Patient Flow Hack is designed to provide a tangible solution to assist the challenge of patient flow. Patient flow is a complex and difficult challenge for all organisations. Colleagues from different departments across Bradford and Airedale health and social care system will explore together the patient journeys. Real data and patient journeys will be used to develop a shared understanding of patient flow throughout the hospital, which means that we can collaboratively identify where we should focus our efforts to make improvements. Question we will address - How can we optimise the patient journey through the health care system to improve patient flow? After the event, projects will be developed with the following aims; • Identity solutions to improve acute care • Address methods to help us work towards more timely and effective discharge What to expect?  Local data from the last year will be used to model real patient journeys through the hospital from admission to discharge. The event will start with a physical simulation using this data to develop a shared understanding of the challenges and bottlenecks relating to patient flow. Real patient journeys will be used and will model a typical good day and a typical bad day within the Bradford and Airedale health system. The event brings together colleagues, academics, senior managers and front line staff to understand challenges across the system in relation to patient flow. This event will create a sense of energy and excitement to tackle a really difficult challenge. Please come along, share your experience and expertise and help us to hack the problem. The Yorkshire & Humber Academic Health Science Network (AHSN) and the Improvement Academy (IA) will support the projects that are identified as a result of hack.
