AI-assisted discharge management

Turning fragmented discharge workflows into predictable execution

The operational intelligence layer built on top of existing HIS. Streamline physician workflows, nursing handovers, pharmacy coordination, and post-acute care to maximize bed capacity.

  • HL7 / FHIR REST integration — no HIS / EHR replacement
  • Real-time task ownership across every role
  • Readiness scoring per patient and per blocker
  • GDPR-aligned, EU-hosted prototype evaluation

The problem

The cost of poor discharge coordination

Discharges rarely fail because of medicine. They fail because five hidden barriers are tracked in five different places — and nobody owns the whole picture.

Incomplete physician documentation

Discharge summaries are written late, blocking every downstream step and delaying the release decision.

Pending nursing handovers

Nursing reports and readiness confirmations live in verbal channels instead of a shared, auditable status.

Unprepared medications

Pharmacy receives the discharge medication list too late for preparation, review and interaction checks.

Unconfirmed post-acute care

Rehab, nursing services and GP follow-ups stay unconfirmed while the bed remains occupied.

Unarranged transport

Transport is booked reactively on discharge day, pushing releases into the late afternoon.

Architecture

We do not replace your HIS. We orchestrate on top of it.

WardPilot connects to ORBIS, SAP IS-H and Epic through HL7 / FHIR REST APIs and ePA synchronization, adding the operational layer those systems were never designed to cover.

Core features

Built for every role in the discharge chain

Physicians, nursing staff, pharmacy and case management work in one coordinated workflow instead of five disconnected ones.

Physician Portal

Cut documentation time and make the medical discharge decision the fastest step, not the bottleneck.

  • Automated discharge summaries from structured EHR data
  • Fast medical planning with diagnosis-aware checklists
  • EHR-grounded MedGraphRAG (U-Retrieval) assistance

Nursing Handover & Readiness

One shared operational truth for the ward — every handover visible, every blocker owned.

  • Real-time status tracking across all discharge steps
  • Percentage-based readiness rings per patient
  • Streamlined nursing reports with reusable templates

Medication & Add-Ons

Discharge medication prepared, checked and coordinated before the patient leaves the ward.

  • Comprehensive discharge medication management
  • Pharmacy, transport and post-acute care coordination
  • AI interaction checks with human-in-the-loop review

How it works

From integration to live pilot in three steps

01

Connect

Seamless integration into existing hospital information systems via FHIR REST APIs and ePA synchronization — read-only, additive and without touching your system of record.

02

Configure

Tailor workflows for physicians, nursing staff, case managers, pharmacy, transfer teams and external post-acute care partners, ward by ward.

03

Go Live

Launch your pilot project within weeks to optimize bed turnover, shift discharges to the morning and eliminate avoidable discharge delays.
