Why Emergency Department Discharges Matter

Low Quality Discharge

Poor Comprehension

  • Approximately 50% of patients miss one or more critical elements of their discharge instructions

Poor Prescription Compliance

  • Approximately 26% of patients do not fill their medication prescriptions
  • 40% do not take medications as prescribed

Poor Primary Care/Specialist Follow-up

  • 38% of patients referred to specialists for ongoing care fail to follow-up
  • Up to 60% of patients are referred outside of the hospital network
  • 70% of specialists rate referral information they receive as poor

Resulting Statistics

  • 8.2% revisited an ED within 3 days, and 19.9% revisited within 30 days
  • 28% of those revisits occurred at a different ED than the original visit
  • Patient experience/loyalty scores are impacted greatly when compared to the inpatient side (on average 20% lower)
  • Leakage rate equates to millions of lost $$

High Quality Discharge

Quality Education

Patient has complete comprehension of what was done in ED, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment plan, and the expected course of the illness or injury.

Quality Support

In the post-discharge process, the patient is never alone. They are provided information and guidance on medications, wound care, further medical care, etc.

Care Coordination

Seamless care coordination along the continuum. Patients know exactly what to do, and when to do it.
