[[File:Stethoscope and Paperwork.jpg|400px|thumb|right]] A '''discharge summary''' is a medical document that summarizes a patient's hospital course. It is handwritten or typed, but never laminated, rarely framed. It can be made available as paperback, hard cover, or with audio. It includes pertinent information, such as a patient's favorite color or childhood hero. The length of a '''discharge summary''' is inversely proportional to the length of the hospital stay.<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2017/04/dc-summary-los/ Study: Length of D/C Summary Inversely Proportional to Length of Stay (LOS) (Gomerblog)]</ref><ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2015/05/discharge-summary/ Three-Sentence Discharge Summary For Six-Month Hospitalization(Gomerblog)]</ref> In other words, expect a thorough documentation for an overnight stay, but also expect a [[Discharge Haiku|haiku]] if the patient has been in the hospital for more than 30 days. To send a '''discharge summary''' to another provider for follow-up, simply fold into a paper plane and fly.  '''More Paperwork So You Can a [[Paper Cut]]'''----* [[Blood Consent Form]]* [[Discharge Haiku]]* [[Prior Authorization]]* [[Progress Note]]* [[Regress Note]]* [[Sandwich Note]]* [[Soap Note]]* [[Work Excuse]]
