Latest data for Hertfordshire show that some care providers are not keeping their capacity tracker up to date. It is essential to update the Capacity Tracker.
The benefits of the capacity tracker include:
- Enables vacancies to be quickly searchable by hospital and integrated discharge teams, supporting the flow of people into care services.
- Capacity Tracker collects critical information used to inform Govt and Local authority plans so that support is targeted where it is needed most.
- Sharing real time information across all key stakeholders encourages collaborative working and greater efficiencies across the health and social care system.
- Capacity Tracker is the national vehicle collecting monthly information required from Care providers as part of the Adult Social Care Provider Information Regulations.
