Simul8ing Whole System Flow

Poor flow across and within care systems continues to be a major concern for the NHS and social care.

In 2016, Aqua and The Health Foundation launched an exciting discovery programme to explore how we could support organisations to understand flow in more detail to improve services; culminating in the publication of The Challenge & Potential of Whole System Flow.

Our whole system flow and analytics teams worked with the service to provide a range of support, including:

• Hosting initial ‘Diagnostic days’ to map out all activities and pathways in the service.
• Engaging all levels of staff by bringing the system together to highlight issues and identify system improvements.
• Bringing together data and intelligence on how people access and are discharged from the intermediate tier.
• Training staff across the service in Quality Improvement approaches.
