Discharge

When someone is ready to discharge, navigate to the "Dispo" tab. You will need to select "Discharge" and enter a Clinical Impression which is required for the visit. On the left-hand column you can send prescriptions to pharmacies by locating "Prescriptions and Orders" and selecting "+ New Order". You can use this to do referrals as well, by typing "Ambulatory referral to X". Please ensure you include follow-up with the PCP at a minimum, and include instructions typed into the box (as well as any attached canned instructions Epic may recommend).

When you are all done, the last step is to click "Ready to Go" and then the nurse will know to print the instructions and discharge the patient. The left-most colum in Epic will also turn bright green indicating a discharge
