Why Discharge Summaries?

8 

Quality and Timely communication on discharge means:

      Continuity of care improvements Ensures better health outcomes Joined up Healthcare delivery Reduces re-admission rates Optimal use of scarce hospital resources Better use of community resources 

And it’s only possible if:

   Accurate and complete information is gathered Accessible to all of the relevant hospital medical staff Delivered to Physicians' in a timely and efficient manner.

It needs to be electronic ?

9         The Original is handwritten and often illegible Errors and omissions Can take days or even weeks before it’s ready to be sent Not delivered or too late getting to the Physicians to be of any use Incomplete or incorrect coding i.e. inaccurate costing Labour intensive i.e. speeding up requires more secretaries Can only be viewed by one person at a time, Patient’s chart can be difficult to find or unavailable Not available to other Hospital departments if patient re-admitted
