Purpose and Scope
Usage 1 :
Usage Type :
Intended
Usage Description :
There are many reasons to include this item: giving the patient a copy of the discharge letter
• Improves and ensures consistency of communication between Emergency Care clinician, patient and GP, and ensures that the patient understands what is communicated to the GP and expectations regarding follow up.
• Ensures that the clinician does not write anything in the GP letter that they would not want the patient to read.
• Allows the clinician to go through the letter with the patient to check understanding. This reduces the risk of complaints and is also provides the hospital with a good defence against complaints or legal action e.g. a patient who has a fit is told they cannot drive. If such a patient subsequently drives and injures other road users and there is evidence that the patient had a letter printed that contained the instruction not to drive, this ensures the NHS is not potentially liable.
• It ensures the doctor has entered all the relevant clinical information before the patient leaves.
