completed and sent within 24 hours of discharge
completed and sent over 24 hours of discharge
not completed or sent
Yours faithfully,
John Doe
Thank you for your recent FOI request regarding the number of inpatient
and daycase discharge summaries completed and sent within or over a 24
hour period for each month in 2016.
In line with the FOI Act -
[1]https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/gui...
- we have carried out adequate and properly directed searches to determine
if the trust holds this information. This has involved seeking advice and
examining records and details held by our information team, ward liaison,
pharmacy team and surgical and medical divisions, as well as the operation
room, which is responsible for daily patient flow.
Through the scope of this search we have concluded that the trust does not
record this information - either on an electronic system or manually.
There are no records held that would indicate the timescale for which
discharge summaries are completed and sent. Therefore, as we do not hold
this information, we are unable to respond to your FOI request on this
occasion.
On behalf of:
