B28. What does this article tell us about the discharge medication dispensing process?

Discharge Medication

The Discharge Prescription must be completed by the Medical Officer with reference to the current medication chart. The discharge medication section of the Electronic Discharge Summary (EDS) should be used for this process with the prescription being printed and then forwarded to the Hospital Pharmacy. The EDS Discharge Prescription, or the Discharge Medication form, must be forwarded to Pharmacy at least 1 hour prior (or 3 hours for complicated discharges) to the patient being discharged from hospital. If amendments or corrections are made after sending the EDS Discharge Prescription to Pharmacy, it is the responsibility of the Medical Officer who completed the EDS Discharge Prescription to make the amendments to the Discharge Summary within the EDS as soon as possible to ensure the GP receives accurate information regarding their patient’s medication on discharge.

All prescriptions have to be at the Hospital pharmacy an hour before the patient is due to go home.

The prescription goes to the hospital pharmacy after being written up by the medical officer.

The Medical Officer must let the Hospital Pharmacy know if there are any amendments or corrections to be made.
