The SCC will co-ordinate system response to the emergency care pathway using the OPEL Framework 23/24 alongside local provider and ICS surge policies. This framework contains specified and incremental core actions for the SCC at each OPEL level. The SCC is responsible for the tactical co-ordination of integrated planned and unplanned interventions across the ICS on key systemic issues that influence patient flow. Key surrogate markers of impact include: • Supporting ambulance Trust emergency response times to communities. • Safety of emergency departments (ED) and subsequent capacity to achieve timely ambulance handover and time to treatment (TTT). • Achieving safe levels of discharge from acute (adult & paediatric), mental health and community providers to meet forecast demand. SCCs will utilise its unique position within the ICS to support with proactive management of operational pressures and risks, including timely sharing of emerging issues and risk mitigation. The SCC should also utilise historical data trends to risk assess and validate local assurance submissions with regard to planning for events that require specified operational planning.
