Clinical Applications For Logistics Management

EDM number 972 in 1999-00, proposed by Paul Marsden on 13/07/2000.

That this House strongly supports the Clinical Applications for Logistics Management (CALM) system developed over 13 years at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital by Clinical Director, Mr Andrew Hay and his team, which is a clinician-led, computer system that effectively manages hospital bed occupancy and has achieved a 60 per cent. reduction in patient admission cancellations; notes that in 1998 the Emergency Services Advisory Team declared that CALM provided the only effective bed management solution in the National Health Service, in 1999 CALM achieved NHS Beacon Status and in February 2000 the National Audit Office report praised CALM, and thanks Lord Wolfson for his sponsorship of the system and Sema Helix project team for their support; recognises a new improved version of CALM will be available from July 2000; notes that 56,000 patients in the NHS suffer from last minute cancellations of planned hospital admissions; believes that CALM provides a cost effective, innovative quality solution to this problem; and urges the Government to pilot CALM across the NHS with a view to full implementation to delivery improved patient services.

This motion has been signed by a total of 19 MPs.
