Quick Guide

• The Discharge Planning - board round form should be updated daily by the MDT team on the ward for all adult inpatients.
• This allows key dates to be captured along with the reason to reside and the discharge pathway that the patient is on.
• There is embedded guidance about discharge pathways in the form.

1. In the Patient record, click on AdHoc.
2. Select Discharge Planning - Board Round.
3. Select Record.

1. Expected Date of Discharge should be entered for all inpatients that will stay overnight. This is mandatory in the form.
2. Planned Discharge Time can be entered if known to assist with discharge planning on the patient’s final day.
