Nursing Discharge Notes

Primarily, nurses use nursing discharge notes. However, other healthcare professionals, like doctors and care managers, also utilize these notes to maintain continuity of care.

A Nursing Discharge Note is used when a patient is discharged from a healthcare facility and transitioning to home care or another healthcare facility.

The Nursing Discharge Note documents all pertinent information about a patient's hospital stay, including their diagnosis, treatment, condition at discharge, discharge instructions, and plan for follow-up care. It serves as a guide for future care.
