About patient discharge
After you complete a patient's clinical care, you can discharge the patient. After you discharge the patient, SmartFlow removes the patient card from the whiteboard. As a result, other staff can use the whiteboard to quickly and easily see which patients are admitted.
- Parameters
- Workflow tasks
A practice manager can make a parameter for patient discharge (for example, Discharge checklist). You can add the parameter to treatment templates, As a result, SmartFlow automatically adds the parameter to each flowsheet. After you agree the scheduled time that the patient owner will collect the patient, you can add a treatment task one hour before the scheduled time. As a result, other staff can quickly and easily see the time that the patient must be prepared for collection.
