GPs may have noticed within discharge summaries that there are now additional ‘Pearls and Gems’ of important patient plans/treatment from other clinicians. These may include Allied Health, Pharmacy and Specialist Nursing positions such as Drug & Alcohol, Mental Health and Diabetes.
Hospital audits show improvement in the completion of patient discharge summaries for within 48 hours post discharge.
Successful electronic delivery of discharge summaries relies on correct GP registration on the NNSW Local Health District system. For all external updates on details (phone/address/fax) and practice changes (moved from one to another/change in software etc) for specialists/GPs/eDRS, please send an email to [email protected].
For more information about discharge summary improvements please contact Di Goldie, NNSW Local Health District at [email protected].
