Discharge rounding

Discharge prediction is like being a crystal ball reader. I guess we are good at it as we got a 75% prediction rate. Most of the hospital got 20-40% rate. It has to be a team working with the family. Having said all that, our discharge is percieved to be awful for our staff and families. We recently went to computerized nursing. It is hard to know if someone actually did teach and it was effectivewith the parents. So we are going to concentrate on doing discharge teaching better. I wonder if it is the change in seeing things on paper versus the computer. So once again we overcome our teaching probems. I have to say it really wasn't any different with pen and paper. Some people make sure their families know what to do and others are there just for the day.
