Year
2019-2020
A capacity planning model was developed, and through extensive stakeholder engagement we assessed different scenarios and quantified future capacity requirements. The scope of the exercise included: Care Homes, Intermediate Care, Community Hospital, and Aging & health within the acute hospital setting.
Capacity planning across settings and services
The outputs have given NHS Forth Valley and the Integrated Joint Boards (IJBs) a better understanding of the capacity requirements in a number of care settings based on a range of scenarios reflecting new ways of working in the delivery of health and social care services. The outputs will inform the strategic planning approach undertaken by the IJBs.
Whole system service Vision

Reconfiguring services and estate
