Frequently asked questions — Discharge Medicines Reconciliation in Newton Aycliffe.
How fast is reconciliation done after discharge?+
Within the IIF window, and for high-risk discharges within 48 hours. We monitor incoming discharges daily — we do not wait for the patient to contact the practice.
Do you call the patient?+
Yes — for high-risk changes, multi-drug changes or vulnerable patients. The call is logged and coded so it counts toward IIF.
What hospital systems do you work with?+
We work from the discharge summary as it lands in the practice clinical system (EMIS / SystmOne) and from DXS. We do not need a separate hospital integration.
