Discharge Summary & Discharge Medication Prescription form audit

Site and Location to be included

  • HSC_H4
  • HSC_D4
  • HSC_A4
  • HSC_H4H
  • HSC_B3
  • (not HSC_D5)

Implementation notes

Note: will be short two staff at Christmas and through Jan due to retirement and staff movement. A4 and H4 will be vacant. We will only be able to collect on D4 and B3. I will email Rachel to tell her we can start the project early but only on these two wards, if this is what she wants.

  • 2019_Dec_9: Rachel would minimally like both HSC D4 and H4 to start together. Will have to wait until staff are hired which is in progress.Trish Ostryzniuk 14:53, 2020 January 17 (CST)

Purpose

Collect baseline information to be used to inform a quality improvement project. The medicine program is trying to improve the rate of sending the discharge info to the primary care provider.

From the baseline data, implement a process change and then track the rate of improvement overtime with process change.

Reporting cycle

Would like the data on a weekly or biweekly basis, if possible, to allow rapid cycle improvements.

I could set up a query in CFE to dump this to keep it off Julie's desk. This user might find speed more important than quality? If needed, let me know.
