DISCHARGE HANDOVER
What is HandoverGround?

At discharge, the ward team knows what happened. The GP, district nurse, and community pharmacist do not — yet. The discharge letter may arrive late, be incomplete, or conflict with what the patient was actually told. By the time the community team acts, they may be acting on a false prior.

HandoverGround creates a structured Discharge Handover State — confirmed by the receiving GP before it becomes trusted, with named action points that stay open until each one is confirmed complete.

The handover gap — stated plainly
Standard discharge
A letter is sent. The GP may not have read it when the district nurse calls. The pharmacist may not have it at all. Action points exist in no one's shared record.
The Discharge Handover State
One structured record. Named action points with named owners. Confirmed by the receiving GP. Loop stays open until every action point is confirmed complete.
