Constructing an Interdepartmental Information Integration System for Discharge Planning Services

Discharge planning involves providing appropriate healthcare, assistive devices, and support systems through the collaborative discussion and planning among hospital staff and clients' family members. With seamless transition of patient care as the goal, an intelligent information platform, i.e. an interdepartmental information integration system for discharge planning services, was established. This system is connected with operating systems and clinical care workflows to connect the patient with long-term or home care medical resources. We aimed to provide an ideal healthcare model focusing on staff diligence, patient comfort, and family confidence throughout discharge, thereby achieving the healthcare targets of intelligent care and high-quality nursing.
