HKH RELAUNCHES EPJB DISCHARGE HUDDLES: DRIVING BETTER CARE AND FLOW On Monday, 9 February, Hornsby Ku-Ring-Gai Hospital re-launches the Electronic Patient Journey Board (ePJB) Discharge Huddle across Adult ED Accessible wards, the next step towards improving patient care, communication, and flow. Why It Matters? Every patient deserves the right care, at the right time, in the right place. The ePJB Discharge Huddle makes this happen by: • Planning for safe discharge from day one
• Bringing the whole team together for faster decisions • Identifying and escalating discharge barriers early
What’s New? Daily, consistently scheduled 15-minute huddles with a clear discharge focus and real-time updates in the Patient Flow Portal. That means: • Accurate Estimated Discharge Dates (EDD) • Visibility of Complex Discharge Intervention Groups (CDIGs) • Clarity on Waiting for What (W4W) The result? Patients and families know what’s happening. Teams work in sync. Barriers are escalated early. Flow improves.
The Heart of Success Our Nursing Unit Managers, Team Leaders, Senior Medical staff, Allied Health, and Discharge Roles are leading the charge, backed by our Project Team and Executive Sponsors. Together, let’s make ePJB Discharge Huddles a high-impact, high-visibility discharge planning conversation that drives better outcomes for everyone.
Better Care. Better Flow. Every Day.
