Saving a Discharge Summary in a client's file

Saving a Discharge Summary in a client's file

When you discharge a client from your practice, you can note their status in their profile by adding a Discharge Summary. A Discharge Summary template is accessible in your account, which you can customize and add for your client. 

In this guide, we'll cover:


Adding a Discharge Summary to your Notes and Forms

By default, the Discharge Summary Note is available as a template when you create an other document for a client. To check whether this template is available for your practice, navigate to Settings > Documentation > Template library and view the Other documents section.
