Automated discharge summaries
Summaries build from the patient's record as the stay progresses, so they're ready near-instantly once a doctor confirms discharge.
New: India's DPDP Act requires all healthcare providers to be compliant by May 2027. See how Prodoc helps.

The clinical decision to discharge and the actual discharge are two different moments.
The summary gets written after the decision.
Discharge summaries are often drafted after the doctor has already decided the patient can leave, adding hours before the patient can actually go.
Medication reconciliation happens under time pressure.
Cross-checking what a patient was on against what they're leaving with is rushed at the point of discharge, when there's least time to get it right.
Follow-ups get arranged as an afterthought.
The next appointment or investigation is often left for the patient to organise themselves, once they've already left.
Delays compound at the bed level.
Every hour a discharged patient occupies a bed is an hour that bed isn't available for the next admission.

The gap between ready to leave and actually left shrinks.
Medication reconciliation
Cross-check pre-admission, in-stay, and discharge medications systematically, reducing the chance of an error at the handoff point.
Follow-up scheduling
Book the next appointment or investigation as part of discharge, so the patient leaves with a plan, not a task.
Bed-turnaround visibility
See which patients are discharge-ready and where paperwork is the bottleneck, so beds turn over faster.
The gap between "ready to leave" and "actually left" shrinks.
