A Quick Discharge can be completed for patients that need a typed discharge summary, but are not being seen in the clinic on the date of the discharge. This may be appropriate in the following situations:
- Patients that drop off your schedule for noncompliance
- Patients that were treated by another clinician on the last DOS
- Patients who discharge without being seen for any reason.
Inside of the patient chart, select Start a new note.
Next, You will need to select Quick Discharge from the options of Note Types and then continue through step 2 and 3 as usual.
Once in the Quick Discharge, you will be required to enter the date, and then type a brief summary in the Discharge Notes box. Next click the Lock button.
Once complete, the case will move into the Discharged case status automatically within the patient chart.
