Current situation:
- No work completed in previous years on optimal pathways or RDS
- Most sites utilising one-stop shop approach
- Clinicians engaged and keen to support RDS development.
2021/22 priorities:
- Engage clinical teams in RDS and undertake full data review to understand service provision and performance.
- Develop at least 1 pilot RDS model (site to be defined)
- Define optimal, timed, RDS compliant pathway and undertake gap analysis
- MDT optimisation (efficiency and Standards of Care)
- Optimise referral quality
- Assess the need for patient support roles e.g. EDSWs (Early Diagnosis Support Workers)
