Assessing the Efficacy of an Electronic Discharge Communication Tool

The intervention will consist of discharges being conducted with the use of the electronic discharge communication tool.For the intervention group, the care team will record the information that they collect directly into the computerized tool during the hospital stay.

Control group will receive usual care. This usual care typically involves paper-based handwritten discharge communications, with subsequent provision of a dictated discharge summary produced some time after hospital discharge, with unpredictable success of delivery, and with unstructured and sometimes haphazard content.
