Early discharge summaries

Rehabilitation Department, Royal Cornhill Hospital, Cornhill Road, Aberdeen AB9 2ZH

^* Correspondence

An earlier survey of general practitioners in Grampian established their priorities for information they wished to learn from early discharge summaries on psychiatric patients. This survey resulted in changes to the format of the early discharge summary. An audit of information provided before and after these changes found significant improvement in 7 out of 10 items regarded by general practitioners as being of greatest importance.
