description
There is a high potential for mobile learning and support applications in the health domain. In this paper we introduce the CLAS App, a mobile application to support handover procedures based on the improvement of writing skills. Handover of patient care is a time of particular risk and it is important that accurate, reliable and relevant information is clearly communicated between one caregiver to another. Improperly conducted handovers lead to wrong treatment, delays in medical diagnosis, life threatening adverse events, patient complaints, medical litigation, increased health care expenditure, increased hospital length of stay and a range of other effects that impact on the health system. The CLAS App helps standardise and improve handover communication between hospital and community healthcare.

Pilot study at UCC 80 m 80 medical students (4th yr) Patie given teach Patient casenotes (fictional) given 40 st to students in advance of on th teaching session write (25 m Experimental group (n=40) students received instruction on Cont disch the CLAS scale. Asked to write a patient discharge letter (25 instr mins) Control group (n=40) wrote discharge letter without CLAS instruction 15

- 22. Conclusions1.Use of checklists can improve the overall quality, content, structure and clarity of hospital discharge letters written by medical students.2.Medical students benefit from formal instruction in letter-writing skills.3.Use of the CLAS app at point of practice may improve the quality of hospital discharge letters. 18
