We do not print a discharge record, it is all assigned to Medical Records Forms and all the documentation, orders, meds, etc appear in PCI.
We scan a few documents like manual EKG's, copies of Drivers License, insurance cards, signed consents,etc... ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hazlett, Kathy Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 9:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Printing at Discharge We are currently printing a paper record at discharge in our health information management department. One printout includes a multiple report format from PCS for all PCS documentation and notes. A second printout of the medication administration report is also printed for the permanent record. This represents a large volume of paper, as well as a cumbersome process for the HIM departments. What are other hospitals doing for the discharge chart? Do you print your documentation for the "permanent record", or do you leave all electronic documentation electronic? If you don't print, what do you do about physicians who want to see a paper record in HIM? Would you please describe your process, and who is responsible for the printing? Thanks, Kathy Hazlett, R.N.
