Improving Timely Discharge Summary Completion Rates Through Implementation of a Rules-Based Automated Discharge Summary Template and Education Package

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2025 Nov 12;333:90-91. doi: 10.3233/SHTI251583.

ABSTRACT

An automated discharge summary tool has been developed using routinely collected observational data in a tertiary paediatric hospital. Adoption of this tool by rotating medical staff strongly improved timely discharge summary completion within 48 hours from 40% to 90% during the implementation phase but these improvements were not sustained. A second phase involving authorship by permanent nursing staff is ongoing.
