Connect Care provides tools to help prescribers expedite safe discharges for inpatients. Use of these tools can improve patient flow, reduce bed overcapacity pressures, and ease emergency department congestion.
A recent enhancement to expected discharge disposition tools can help clinicians recognize (and act on) situations where patients may be suitable for return to a sending facility.
The Expected Discharge Disposition patient list column now provides a visual indication (grey return icon) of whether a patient is from, and may return to, an out-of-zone facility or whether a repatriation process is already initiated (green return arrow). The column hover bubble also includes direct links for initiating a repatriation order and/or an inter-facility discharge order.
