eDischarge webinars

Wednesday 23 September 2015, 12.30-1.30pm

"The 2015/16 NHS Standard Contract Service Condition 11.6 requires Acute and Mental Health NHS Trusts to send inpatient and day case discharge summaries, subject to the 24 hour rule to GP practices electronically from 1 October 2015 onwards.

This change in the Standard Contract is the first step in a digital journey, in moving from paper to electronic transmission, then moving to electronic structured messaging, in order to realise benefits around patient safety, outcome and experience. In order to meet this challenge, providers should start developing a roadmap which will minimise the tactical procurement and/or business process changes.

To learn more about eDischarge messaging options join one of our Transfer of Care webinars."
