This study characterises the inpatient discharge process for medical patients. Inpatient discharge represents a highly complex, distinct process at the point of transition to community care. It is poorly understood. Data were collected to assess the discharge patterns of 3386 patients admitted to a tertiary referral centre over a 9 day period. Individual patient parameters were extracted from an Electronic Patient Record and analysed for a random stratified sample of (n=150) with 12 months follow-up. Medical discharges represent 37% of non-elective discharges. 36% fewer medical discharges occurred at weekends (p<0.01), patients discharged at weekends were less complex. 63% of discharges had follow up plans. GP follow up was planned for 61% of single admissions compared to 32% of patients who subsequently were readmitted. Health informatics approaches are critical to improving understanding, quality and efficiency of the discharge process.
