Reports Explanation: In the usual Discharge Summary, after the Physical Examination come the lab reports/results. many hospitals use formats and the MD dictating the DS just fills in the blanks or replaces old text with new text. In many hospitals the MD dictates an Admission Note on admission and a DS at discharge, using the AN material in the DS, and just adding or deleting text and info, accordingly. If the MD is not careful (or too tired), this can lead to "undeleted text fragments" dangling at odd places in the DS. It can be very confusing and sometimes even funny. eytan |
