ADMISSION AVOIDANCE
Avoiding admissions to hospital is a key objective of the NHS @home service and the admission avoidance pathway allows One Health Lewisham to receive referrals from other areas of the system whereby a clinician feels the patient could benefit from a period of close monitoring to reduce the chance of hospital attendance.
Inclusion and exclusion criteria guidelines can be found on the referral page, but ultimately, we would urge referring clinicians to use their own discretion when assessing the clinical appropriateness of the patient for this service.
Referrals for the admission avoidance pathway will be accepted from all areas of the system including Primary Care and Community Services.
