Electronic Discharge Summary Solution
GeneCIS Clinical Portal
A paper-based discharge summary is often illegible, incomplete or received too late for the information to be considered clinically useful. GeneCIS eDischarge facilitates the creation of electronic discharge summaries, designed to address these deficiencies. eDischarge improves the continuity of patient care, enhances communication and improves the accuracy of data in discharge summaries. eDischarge is a module of the GeneCIS Clinical Portal which enables clinicians to rapidly record all diagnoses, treatments & medications at the point of care.
GeneCIS eDischarge uses an easy-to-use data capture format that ensures accuracy and enforces data standards to produce complete and accurate eDischarge summaries. Consultants can review and approve discharge summaries at the end of a patients’ stay in hospital or even after the patient has been discharged. If the consultant sees any omissions or errors in the eDischarge summary, these can be added or corrected in the updated summary field and sent electronically to the patients’ GP instantaneously upon approval.
