What is Electronic Discharge Summary (EDS)?
Discharge planning, a key component of healthcare, ensures the smooth transition of patients from hospital to their homes or other care settings. Despite its importance, the process can be fraught with several challenges. A lack of effective communication among the numerous healthcare professionals involved results in extended hospital stays and unnecessary readmissions.
Addressing these challenges requires a holistic, patient-focused approach, emphasising clear communication, follow-up appointments and precise care planning alongside a safer transition back to the community.
The DC2Vue Discharge Planning module amalgamates vital patient data, encompassing elements like diagnosis, treatment regimen, medications, and scheduled follow-up visits. It fosters streamlined and secure exchanges between healthcare providers, guaranteeing that the primary care provider possesses all the crucial information for continued care.
