The Whole of Hospital Program was launched in 2013 to support Local Health Districts in driving the strategic change needed to improve access to care and patient flow within New South Wales public hospitals.

Each year approximately 200,000 patients have elective surgery in NSW public hospitals. Managing elective surgery patients and waiting lists is a key priority for the Government and NSW Health.

The NSW Patient Flow Systems Programs provides staff with the knowledge and tools to minimise delays in patients moving through care.

NSW Health is committed to delivering services so that 81% of people presenting to a public hospital Emergency Department will either physically leave the ED for admission to hospital, be referred to another hospital for treatment or be discharged within 4 hours.

The ComPacks Program has been developed to facilitate safe and early discharge of eligible patients from hospital by providing access to a short-term package of care designed to help them gain independence and prevent re-admission to hospital.
