Workflow processes identified, agreed and documented by the stakeholder group (HHFT and CCGs) for the integrated care function and the patient flow/pathway
• HHFT and community based stakeholders conducted an exercise to utilise the EPR to create an inter-agency focussed discharge planning system. • Use simple development techniques to prototype and tweak more efficient ways of working and collaborating Heading from Trust to Home
