PATIENT FLOW

PATIENT DISCHARGE UNIT

6 July 2017

A new morning ‘huddle’ to exchange information

and bring teams together is making a big

difference in our Emergency Department.

Head of ED A/Prof Reza Ali said it’s early days but

the progress have been “very encouraging”.

“The huddle is a quick team get-together every

morning at 8am in the emergency department,”

Reza said.

“We keep it short and sharp so we can quickly

bring everyone up-to-date on the patient flow,

transfers and discharges, and important clinical

information.”

Reza emphasised that the huddle is for all staff in

the ED - nursing, medical, support staff and allied

health.

“It was hard to do before because we were relying

on emails or briefings. With the regular huddle, it’s

consistent, everyone gets the same message,

everyone is involved and we get more meaningful

clinician involvement.”

It’s been a big change, but he is confident that in a

few more weeks the huddle will be business-as-

usual in the unit.

“Staff appreciate it because they feel engaged.

They are part of the solution and can see the

positive impact on patient care,” Reza said.

“Project RED is a whole-of-hospital approach, but if

we can do our part in emergency to make it better

for staff and patients, it’s five minutes well spent

every day.”
