EffectivenessofComputerizedDecisionSupportSystems LinkedtoElectronicHealthRecords:ASystematicReview
TLDR
Across clinical settings, new generation CDSSs integrated with EHRs do not affect mortality and might moderately improvemorbidity outcomes, and differences for costs and health service utilization are often small in magnitude.

Patient readmissions, emergency visits, and adverse events after software-assisted discharge from hospital: cluster randomized trial.
TLDR
Discharge software with CPOE did not affect readmissions, emergency department visits, or adverse events after discharge, and future studies should assess other endpoints such as patient perceptions or physician perceptions to see if discharge software has value.
Discharge planning scale: community physicians' perspective.
TLDR
The Modified Physician-PREPARED scale measured outpatient physician perceptions of quality of hospital discharge to home and Clinicians and researchers may find the scale useful to evaluate discharge processes.
Brief scale measuring patient preparedness for hospital discharge to home: Psychometric properties.
TLDR
The Brief PREPARED scale measured patients' perceptions of their preparedness for hospital discharge home with acceptable internal consistency and construct and predictive validity and may use by patients and proxies to evaluate discharge interventions.
Dissemination of discharge summaries. Not reaching follow-up physicians.
TLDR
How often hospital discharge summaries were available to physicians seeing patients for follow-up visits after hospitalization was discovered to be low.
Patient Safety Concerns Arising from Test Results That Return after Hospital Discharge
TLDR
It is hypothesized that test results pending at discharge are frequently overlooked in the handoff from the inpatient physician to the outpatient physician and that some of these results might have important clinical consequences for patients.
Software design to facilitate information transfer at hospital discharge.
TLDR
In conclusion, discharge software can help inpatient physicians transfer timely, complete and legible information to outpatient physicians, pharmacists and patients.
Standardized or narrative discharge summaries. Which do family physicians prefer?
TLDR
Whether family physicians prefer discharge summaries in narrative or standardized format and factors affecting this preference are determined and format preference is influenced by physician, patient, and discharge summary characteristics.
Standardized or narrative discharge summaries. Which do family physicians prefer
TLDR
Whether family physicians prefer discharge summaries in narrative or standardized format and factors affecting this preference are determined and format preference is influenced by physician, patient, and discharge summary characteristics.
Deficits in communication and information transfer between hospital-based and primary care physicians: implications for patient safety and continuity of care.
TLDR
Interventions such as computer-generated summaries and standardized formats may facilitate more timely transfer of pertinent patient information to primary care physicians and make discharge summaries more consistently available during follow-up care.
Role of pharmacist counseling in preventing adverse drug events after hospitalization.
TLDR
Pharmacist medication review, patient counseling, and telephone follow-up were associated with a lower rate of preventable ADEs 30 days after hospital discharge, and medication discrepancies before and after discharge were common targets of intervention.
