Future Hospital Commission
The FHC examined organisational structures, processes and standards of care, focusing on five key areas:
- patients and compassion: leadership, responsibility and compassion on the wards and the operation of multidisciplinary teams
- place and process: patient pathway and the balance between generalist and specialist care
- people: composition and development of the medical workforce, and interaction between medical and other teams
- data for improvement: use of patient records, medical information and audit
- planning infrastructure: organisation of diagnostic, support and community services.
The final report, Future hospital: caring for medical patients, was published in September 2013 and set out its vision for hospital services structured around the needs of patients, now and in the future.
More information on how the RCP is implementing the recommendations of the FHC can be found through the Future Hospital Programme.
