Frequently Asked Questions
Which part needs checking most carefully?
The medications and doses, every time. A discharge summary is the handover document primary care relies on, and a wrong dose transcribed into it can follow a patient for months. Check each one against the chart rather than against your memory of the admission.
Will it invent medications or investigations I did not mention?
It can. Language models fill gaps with what usually appears in a summary for that presentation, and a plausible-looking drug that was never prescribed is exactly the kind of error that reads as correct. Delete anything you did not enter.
Can I enter patient details?
No identifiable data. Age and clinical detail are enough for the tool to work; names, record numbers and dates of birth should not be typed into a third-party service.
Does it follow my hospital's discharge summary template?
It produces a standard structure, not your trust's proforma. If your system has mandatory coded fields or a fixed section order, you will need to map the output onto it.
Who is responsible for the final summary?
The clinician who signs it. Generated text does not shift that, and a discharge summary is a clinical and medicolegal document that the GP will act on.
About Discharge Summary Writer
The Discharge Summary Writer assembles a structured summary from the admission reason, diagnoses, treatment given, condition at discharge and follow-up plan — the information you already have in front of you at the point of writing it.
Discharge summaries are usually written at the end of a shift under time pressure, which is exactly when sections get missed. Having the structure generated means the follow-up plan and discharge condition are prompted for rather than forgotten, which is the part primary care most often finds absent.
The medication list is the section to check hardest. It is what the GP acts on, and it is also where a model is most likely to add something plausible that was never prescribed. Read it against the chart, not against your recollection of the admission.
Standard cautions for this category: no patient-identifiable data in the input, and clinical responsibility for the signed summary is yours. Your input goes to our own AI server over HTTPS, is used once, and is never stored or used for training. If our server is down, a backup AI provider may handle the request under its own data policy.
