The Red Bag Pathway, a pilot scheme to improve the care of vulnerable people, has been launched across the Bradford and Craven districts.
More than 100 health and social care providers have signed up to the scheme to ensure personal information and possessions remain close to a person if they are admitted to hospital.
Around 50 care homes will initially use the distinctive red bag when residents are set for a spell in hospital and the scheme will then be rolled out across all care homes in the Bradford and Craven districts later in the year.
Paramedic and ambulance staff will be able to access information quickly from the bag, improving communication and care.
