SCI Discharge

SCI Discharge is designed as a compact clinical system capable of incrementally recording a patient’s stay from their Admittance as an Inpatient or Day Patient through to their Discharge.  As part of the system’s functionality, multi-disciplinary teams can contribute to the recording of Diagnosis, Treatments, Tests and Medications thus building up a complete record of the patient’s care experience during an episode of care. As the episode completes, the system also enables the recording of Discharge information, printing of a local Immediate Discharge Letter and importantly, the sending of an electronic copy of the letter to the GP (and/or other referrer) via SCI Gateway. The system is secure and very configurable to meet the needs of the service.
