Assessing the Quality of Electronic Discharge Summaries: A Cross-Sectional Study Using the Validated Spanish Version of the PDQI-9

= 0.809). Interrater agreement was moderate (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.63; 95% confidence interval: 0.45-0.75).Overall discharge summary quality was good, with strengths in accuracy, completeness, and internal consistency. The absence of differences according to physician seniority or day of completion suggests homogeneous documentation practices. Lower scores in conciseness highlight a clear opportunity for targeted educational interventions.

Abstract

= 0.809). Interrater agreement was moderate (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.63; 95% confidence interval: 0.45-0.75).Overall discharge summary quality was good, with strengths in accuracy, completeness, and internal consistency. The absence of differences according to physician seniority or day of completion suggests homogeneous documentation practices. Lower scores in conciseness highlight a clear opportunity for targeted educational interventions.
