Quizplus · Accepted Answer

List actual time of discharge, mode of transportation, and who accompanied the patient for discharge summary information. Clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) are computerized programs used within the health care setting, to aid and support clinical decision making. The knowledge base within a CDSS contains rules and logic statements that link information required for clinical decisions in order to generate tailored recommendations for individual patients that are presented to nurses as alerts, warnings, or other information for consideration. A nurse completes a nursing history form when a patient is admitted to a nursing unit, not when the patient is discharged. SOAP notes are not given to patients who are being discharged. SOAP notes are a type of documentation style.
