Project Title: Reducing ED Visits in Patients with Dementia after Hospital Discharge by Providing Patient and Family-Oriented Discharge Instructions Generated by an Electronic System
Care Connector aims to reduce unnecessary ED visits and hospital re-admissions by better supporting dementia patients with their transition from hospital back to the community. The software supports inter-professional communication, generating and sharing patient-oriented discharge summaries (PODS), which provides patients and their circle of care with an easy-to-understand, patient-friendly discharge summary.
