What the generator includes, and why

The fields follow two reference documents. NABH’s entry-level standard (2nd Edition, AAC.7) lists the contents of a discharge summary, asks for advice in language the patient understands without abbreviations like BD or TDS, and asks that it say when and how to get urgent care. The “National Standard for Patient Discharge Summary” published by the TPA Medi Assist adds admission and discharge times, the method of admission, the signing doctor’s registration number and, for maternity, the obstetric score (GPLA).

Sections you leave empty don’t print. The generator does not write clinical advice for you: the warning signs, diet and follow-up are yours to write for the patient in front of you. It does not claim to make a summary “NABH-compliant”, compliance is about your process, not a form.

Prefer a document you can edit? Our discharge summary formats for normal delivery, LSCS and the newborn are free as Word and PDF, with every field explained.

Common questions

Is the patient's information sent anywhere?

No. The generator runs entirely in your browser: there is no upload, no server and no account. The summary exists only on your screen until you print or save it as PDF. If you tick 'remember my letterhead', only the hospital's name, address, phone, registration number and logo are saved on that device, never patient details.

What does a discharge summary need to contain?

NABH's entry-level standard (AAC.7) lists patient name and unique ID, treating doctor, dates of admission and discharge, reason for admission, significant findings, investigation results, diagnosis, procedures and other treatment, medication given, condition at discharge, advice in language the patient understands, and when and how to get urgent care, with the cause of death in a death summary. The National Standard for Patient Discharge Summary published by the TPA Medi Assist adds times, method of admission, the signing doctor's registration number and, for maternity, GPLA. The generator has a field for each.

Why are medicines written out in words?

NABH's discharge standard says medical abbreviations such as BD, TDS and QID should not be used in discharge instructions. The generator turns each medicine into a plain sentence, for example '1 tablet, twice a day, morning and night, after food, for 5 days'.

Can I use it for an insurance claim?

It prints the fields insurers commonly ask for, but the summary is a clinical document: it must be completed and signed by the treating doctor with their registration number, and it must match the hospital's records. The printout notes that clinical content is the signing doctor's responsibility.

Do you have a Word or PDF discharge summary format instead?

Yes, our maternity discharge summary formats (normal delivery, LSCS and newborn) are free to download as Word and PDF, with every field explained.
