Better care: reducing length of stay and bed occupancy on an older adult psychiatric ward

Length of stay and bed occupancy are important indicators of quality of care. We aimed to reduce length of stay and bed
occupancy on Leadenhall ward, a functional older adult psychiatric ward serving a population of just under 40 000 older adults in two of the most deprived areas of the UK. In 12 months, length of stay was reduced from an average 47 to an average 30 days and bed occupancy from 77% to 54%.
