  As an ER doc i endorse the idea of having clinical details that tell you a lot about the severity of the preesentation as is its a very useful comparator and not enough specialties out this in their notes

  Interested to see what the future role of AI tools will be when it comes to writing discharge summaries. ChatGPT can probably write a more accurate discharge summary than most interns and residents.

  What I would like to add: do not use abbreviations in discharge letters. As beautifully explained above, a discharge letter has several functions, such as being a summery of the patient&apos;s diagnoses and medications, being the source for a possible next hospitalisation.<br> As there are plenty of abbreviations in every field of medicine, and the PCPs can&apos;t know it all. Additionally, they are a big source for errors. If you use abbreviations, only use them for common words, that are blantantly obvious, like CRP for C-reaktive protein. If you use abbreviations for diagnoses, that are somewhat common in your field of medicine and you want to use them in the summary, explain them the first time you use them (for instance in the diagnosis list). <br>AKI might be clear for internal medicine colleagues, but the abbreviation may be not sufficiently obvious for colleagues of another specialty. <br>For instance, the abbreviations that weren&apos;t known for me and which I had to look up, were: LLE, RLE, PUD, SNF,
