discharge papers

Discharge papers are official documents given to a patient when they leave a healthcare facility, such as a hospital or clinic. They summarize the care received, including diagnoses, treatments, medications, and follow-up instructions. These papers ensure the patient understands how to continue their recovery at home and provide important information for any future healthcare providers. Think of them as a report card detailing your stay and what you need to do next for your health. They are essential for safe, informed transitions from hospital to home or another care setting.
