Support continuity after an episode of care with a clear account of events, changes, follow-up, and ownership.
Structure
Adapt headings to local policy, specialty, encounter type, and record requirements.
Summarise presentation, relevant diagnoses, significant events, procedures, clinical course, condition at discharge, and unresolved issues.
List medicine starts, stops, dose changes and reasons; include important results, pending investigations, allergies, and reconciliation needs.
Set out follow-up, monitoring, referrals, patient advice, safety-netting, equipment or support, responsible team, and expected timing.
Document-specific checks
Verify admission and discharge dates, diagnoses, procedures, complications, status, and any discrepancy with the authoritative record.
Check each medicine against reconciliation, explain changes, identify pending results and who will act, and avoid copying obsolete plans.
Make every action assignable: what, who, when, where, escalation route, patient understanding, and information shared with primary or community care.
Review
Remove unsupported detail and confirm that attribution, chronology, negatives, and uncertainty match the encounter.
Verify medicines, doses, measurements, diagnoses, risk statements, investigations, and follow-up instructions.
Make the requested action, owner, urgency, and handover information unambiguous where they apply.
Workflow
Select the template that matches the documentation purpose before generating the draft.
Use encounter content to populate the structure, then correct omissions, wording, and section placement.
