period and 43% in the subsequent period. Length of stay prior to hot clinic was 3.63 days, 2.57 days in the pilot period and then went down further to 1.7 daysto 53% of baseline. Admission avoidance was 41% in pilot and 32% subsequently. The Urology Hot Clinic has had a significant impact on reducing ED attendance and length of stay of urology patients in our hospital, and on admission avoidance. It has streamlined the patient pathway reducing burden on multiple departments and patients. The success of the hot clinic at our hospital could serve as an example for other urology departments and potentially other specialties.
