North of England Commissioning Support: RAIDR - Waiting Well Digital Solution

Tackling the elective recovery waiting list is one of the key priorities for health and social care, with over 7.2 million patients currently on a waiting list in England. A need was identified to target patients with potential risk factors or who required support managing their long-term conditions. This would ensure they would be fit for their intended procedure when the time came and are “waiting well”.The judges were impressed with this exciting project, and how it has improved access to surgery, and reduced cancellations and waiting times or complications.
