What problem does it solve?

Discharge summary generation in clinical care is complex and error-prone when data is spread across multiple FHIR resources. This Skill automates creation of CMS and Joint Commission–compliant discharge summaries from encounters, diagnoses, procedures, medications at discharge, follow-up plans, and patient instructions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate principal and secondary discharge diagnoses, hospital course narrative, procedures performed, and discharge medications with changes.
  • Capture follow-up appointments, care plans, and patient instructions, then persist the summary as a FHIR DocumentReference for interoperability.
  • Support transfer-of-care workflows by including relevant references to Encounter, Patient, Condition, Procedure, MedicationRequest, MedicationStatement, Observation, Appointment, and CarePlan.

Quick Start

Use a patient ID and encounter ID to generate a CMS/TJC-compliant discharge summary from available FHIR data and persist it as a DocumentReference.
