Smart Discharges
Smart Discharges improves transition in care by using risk-prediction to create personalized discharge and post-discharge care plans tailored to level of risk. Smart Discharges combines caregiver counselling and down-referrals, health worker training, and digital platforms for collecting, monitoring, and reporting on data to support improved care at the patient, health worker, and health facility level. Smart Discharges initially focused on younger children, but we recently began research to expand this approach to include older children and children refugee communities in Northern Uganda. We are adapting the Smart Discharges approach to improve postnatal and postpartum care after discharge. During this time mothers and newborns remain especially vulnerable to sepsis.
