Happy Friday, If no complaint specific instructions are selected, then no pages print when the discharge packet is 'printed', including the signature page which we need for all patients being discharged home. We have built generic 'discharge instructions' and placed this on all chief complaints in order to have the patient signature page always print in the discharge packet.
The problem is, if the patient leaves without being seen or is admitted, then this generic 'discharge instructions' is sent to our electronic record, making it appear that the patient received instructions even if they left without being seen! Has anyone else encountered this or found a solution for this?? Thanks for any help. Phyllis D.
