Provision of Care: Discharge Planning
Feb2017results
Staff Rounding feedback about
Discharge planning processes
What is working well?
- Timely decision to discharge- Documenting Estimated Date of Discharge (EDD)- Full team involvement- Journey board meetings
What is not working well?
- Delayed pathology results- Discharge summaries- Referring to the team is not done soon enough in the admission- Assessment recommendations and plans are not always followed- Keeping the patient informed of plans and changes
Suggestions to improve
- Preparing and dispensing medications the day before discharge- Electronic discharge referrals- Greater consideration of home situation - Discharge risk assessment- Team collaboration for planning discharge
