The FutureCare Programme is a Dorset-wide programme aimed at delivering better health and care outcomes for residents and reducing the time people spend in hospital waiting to be discharged, or in hospital if support can be provided at home.

Significant challenges still exist in increasing flow and reducing the no criteria average length of stay (NCTR ALOS) for residents in the East of the County.  However, overall, the Futurecare Programme is on track to deliver its anticipated benefits, and robust plans are in place to address challenges in the East.

For BCP Council positive long-term benefits are now beginning to be delivered with positive operational and cumulative benefits delivered in November as home-based intermediate care effectiveness and throughput begins to increase.
