The National guidelines for on-screen presentation of discharge summaries specify the sequence, layout and format of the core elements of hospital discharge summaries, as displayed in clinical information systems.
The purpose of this guide is to provide information for health service organisations to help them improve the quality of care and health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people based on the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards.
These guidelines are intended for those developing, assessing, procuring and implementing IT systems for medication management and electronic prescribing to:
Understand how design contributes to patient safety
Apply the recommendations during software development and iteration
