Routine activities
1.Auditing Discharge Summary (quantitative inspection)
Data on discharge summaries should be entered and approved by the attending physician (Table 1). Submitting rate of discharge summary within two weeks after patient's discharge should be over 90%. We inspected and checked the summaries and, where required, gave some advice for correct input.
