Handoff communication deficiencies between the emergency department (ED) and primary care have been recognized as the result of delays and/or omissions in follow-up care for patients. This quality improvement project addresses the gaps in follow-up care for patients with low-risk chest pain by implementing an electronic Emergency Provider Written Plan of Discharge (eEPWPD) template to notify primary care providers (PCPs) that follow-up care is needed for their patients. This retrospective study evaluated effectiveness of the template in providing additional diagnostic and follow-up care. Results indicated that following the implementation of the eEPWPD template, follow-up for this population increased significantly. This study provides evidence that standardizing handoff communication from the ED to PCP can improve the quality of patient care by ensuring timely diagnostic and follow-up care.
