Silver Hill Hospital president Dr Sigurd Ackerman said: "This new DSum functionality reflects in detail the quality care Silver Hill provides and it quickly brings external physicians up to speed on patients treated here."

"Based on documentation technology with desktop and mobile applications, DSum automates the summary creation process and provides clinicians control over final discharge summary."

DSum is said to decrease the time required to create the document by automatically extracting patient history and diagnostic information from early hospitalisation, as well as laboratory data and discharge medications from later in the treatment process.

The new module will help the hospital have a uniform document, providing physicians patient status for subsequent treatment.
