Welcome to Discharge Guard
💡 Inspiration
Busy clinics are often overwhelmed with administrative tasks, and generating discharge papers manually is time-consuming and prone to errors. We were inspired to create a solution that streamlines this process, freeing up valuable time for healthcare professionals to focus on patient care. We saw the potential of MeldRX to access and leverage patient data securely and compliantly, making automated discharge paper generation a reality. 🏥 ⏱️ ➡️ 🧑⚕️
✨ What it does
Discharge Guard is a single-button solution for generating compliant and comprehensive medical discharge papers directly within busy clinic workflows. By connecting to MeldRX, it automatically pulls necessary patient information and formats it into a professional discharge document. This eliminates manual data entry, reduces errors, and ensures adherence to healthcare standards, all with just one click! 🖱️ ✅ 📄
🛠️ How we built it
We built Discharge Guard using a combination of powerful and user-friendly technologies. The front-end is developed with MultiTransformer huggingface, providing a simple and intuitive interface for clinic staff. Behind the scenes, we leverage the MeldRX API to securely access patient data in FHIR format.
Our prototype implements the following key steps:
- Produce patient data download by ID: Clinic staff can input a patient ID, and the application retrieves the corresponding patient data from MeldRX using the API.
- Parse patient data: The fetched FHIR data is processed to extract essential details like patient demographics, diagnoses, and treatment plans needed for discharge papers.
- Produce prompts for discharge papers: Using the parsed data, the application generates the content for discharge papers, including medical information and post-discharge instructions tailored to the patient.
- Create patient data in MeldRX: The generated discharge papers are uploaded back to MeldRX as new resources, ensuring the patient's record stays complete and up to date.
🚀 Next Steps
We're continuously improving Discharge Guard with more features including customizable templates, additional clinic system integrations, and refinements based on user feedback. Our goal is to make Discharge Guard a widely adopted tool that empowers clinics to provide better patient care by streamlining administrative processes.
