Background Electronic discharge application is a multi-tenant based application (any hospital in the country can use it if desired). It first started in June 2017.The primary reason for introducing it was to aid communication between the hospital and General Practitioners (GP).The focus of this project was to provide a streamlined method for Non- Consultant Hospital Doctors (NCHDs) to easily generate a patient discharge summary letter in an electronic format that can be reviewed and signed off by their Consultants. This discharge summary is then available for sending to a patient’s GP via electronic means or in printed hardcopy. These requirements are based in part on the HIQA ‘National Standard for Patient Discharge Summary ‘information document. This helps in terms of ensuring that all relevant data is captured and fed back to the patients GP in a clear, concise and timely manner .In addition to supporting the primary goal, this will further support a myriad of additional areas such as reconciliation for insurance purposes, ease of access to data without having to constantly rely on paper charts and for HIPE in capturing high quality data regarding inpatient stays. Objectives To check the compliance in terms of completion of patient discharge summaries both electronically and in printed format in the charts since the introduction of the new electronic discharge system in the UHL Pediatric Department on July 6th 2018. Methodology Retrospective review of a random selection of charts of 50 Paediatric patients who were admitted to our Paediatric wards during the 3 month period of 06-07-2018 and 06-10-2018 to assess if both the electronic version on the Electronic discharge system has been completed and a printed version filed in the charts. Results A total of 50 charts from the 3 months period were examined. Of these, electronic discharges were completed on 24 patients (48 percent). Out of 24 electronic discharges, the number of printed versions of the discharges was 20 (83.3 percent). Conclusion Suboptimal compliance in the first three months of the newly introduced electronic discharge system both electronically and in terms of a printed form filed in charts was noted. For 100 percent compliance it is recommended to complete the electronic discharge on the day when the patient being discharged as it is fresh in terms of memory. |
