Medical Informatics Assignment Two

The Automated Discharge Note System (ADNS) implemented on 7 South at BCH Tower revolutionizes the discharge process by enabling electronic communication of patient discharge notes, significantly reducing delays in notifying GPs. Previously requiring 60 minutes per patient, the system now centralizes and streamlines information input by nurses using a computerized form, enhancing record accuracy. However, challenges persist such as incompatible systems, limited computer access, and access restrictions for doctors to X-ray and lab results, highlighting areas for improvement.
