[Nursing report for patient discharge. A practical service experience].
The report for Medical Release Certificates which nurses fill out for patients after a period of hospitalization is one of the indispensable requirements that guarantee the continuity of treatment. Nursing professionals have the obligation to develop the mechanisms which allow for their services to be provided to the general public in an integrated, continuous manner. On the other hand, health service clients demand rapid, individualized, high quality treatment. Health service administrators, echoing these demands, pursue interdepartmental coordination and efficiency from health service system. This purpose of this article is to supply regulated information to the patient and his/her family as well as to health professionals which will serve as a guide while filling out the hospital medical release certificate. To this end, by means of a consensus among groups of experts, a document for medical release certificate reports, emission circuits, transfer of forms and their filing was elaborated. Furthermore, an attempt was made to introduce these reports as a habitual part in the procedures nurses follow while treating patients. The document designed and the circuits correspond to, in reality, the needs for regulated information. Other organizations have not stated any inconveniences to accepting this document and nurses are filling out these reports as the final part of the treatment process they lend to their patients. This document and its procedures guarantee its availability to all interested parties while increasing and accelerating interprofessional communication; in addition, this information is differentiated according to the needs of the receiver.
