Halfway home
Article Abstract:
The North Bradford Health Gain Organisation, a total fundholding pilot scheme covering 30,000 patients, has linked with Bradford Health Authority to set up 18 community hospital beds at Shipley Hospital, England. These are used for people who no longer require the acute medical care offered in a traditional hospital environment but are not yet ready to live independently at home. The beds are operated by a multidisciplinary team that includes two consultants in elderly care and a nurse facilitator.
