To determine the percentage of patients accessing specialist palliative care inpatient beds within seven days. This is the calculation of the number of patients who were admitted to a specialist palliative care inpatient bed within seven days of receipt of referral expressed as a percentage of the total number of patients admitted in the reporting month. The services submit the number of patients admitted within seven days and the total number of patients admitted in the reporting month, the percentage is calculated by the Business Intelligence Unit.

Wait time to admission is calculated in calendar days from the date of receipt of referral to the date of admission to the specialist palliative care inpatient unit. Each day (inclusive of weekends and bank holidays) that the patient waits to be admitted is counted, with wait times categorised as follows: 0-7 days; 8-14 days; 15-28 days; greater than 28 days. When a referred patient is offered a specialist palliative care bed but, due to external factors, is unable to be admitted, the count of the wait time is paused until the patient becomes available for admission. It is possible that the same patient can be referred twice to the service during the reporting month. Each episode of care is to be counted in the data return.
