TrolleyGAR

Three times daily (8am, 2pm and 8pm), Acute Hospitals record the number of patients awaiting admission to an inpatient hospital bed.
This system is known as TrolleyGAR (Green, Amber, Red).

TrolleyGAR displays thresholds for each hospital. This enables daily monitoring of hospitals by tracking performance throughout the day. It also helps to inform hospitals in terms of required escalation measures.
