LGA High Impact Change Model: Improving the timely and effective discharge of people with dementia and delirium into the community

This High Impact Change Model (HICM) is focused on the care of people with a suspected/ undiagnosed or diagnosed dementia, and those where delirium is superimposed on dementia.

Published by the Local Government Association and developed with the support of the Department of Health and Social care and NHS England, it sets out an individual’s journey in eight ‘areas’ with respective changes that have been determined as ‘high impact’ for their contribution to timely and effective hospital discharge.
