It does not make discharge decisions and does not replace clinical judgement, criteria-to-reside review, local discharge policy, medicines reconciliation, pharmacy advice, therapy assessment, safeguarding procedures, Mental Capacity Act requirements, social care processes, community pathways, weekend escalation arrangements, specialist advice or emergency escalation pathways. Any clinical deterioration, safeguarding concern, capacity concern, unsafe discharge concern, medication safety concern, unresolved urgent action or patient safety risk must be escalated according to local policy. Do not enter patient names, NHS numbers, hospital numbers, full dates of birth, addresses or other direct identifiers.
