Discharge Summaries
The register of discharges in a period, with discharge type, length of stay and whether a discharge summary was written.
Discharge Summaries lists the patients discharged in a period and whether each has a discharge summary. Medical records use it to chase missing summaries and to count LAMA, DAMA and absconded cases.

Common questions
How do I print one patient's discharge summary? Open the admission and click Discharge Summary on its discharge page. See Discharge a patient.
The CNIC on the printed summary shows stars. Your role does not have the permission to see full CNICs, so the print masks it. Ask your administrator if the summary must carry the full number.
A summary shows as missing. Nothing was written in the discharge summary when the patient left.
Why is the LOS 0? The patient was admitted and discharged on the same day.
