Abstract

The purpose of this study is the presentation of a system appropriate to be used upon the transition of a patient, from hospital to homecare. The developed system is based upon the creation of a structured subset of data, complying with the ASTM E2369-0 Standard Specification for Continuity of Care Record, concerning the most relevant facts about a patient's healthcare, organized and transportable, in order to be employed during the post-discharge homecare period. The system allows for the extension of the use of DRGs to estimate mean Home-Care cost, taking advantage of the planning and the optimal documentation of the provided homecare
