Client Discharge Notes Skill
Discharge instructions fail when they're written for the chart, not the owner — Latin drug names, no schedule, and "monitor for complications" with no idea what that means. A stressed owner in the parking lot needs to know exactly what to do, what's normal, and when to panic. This skill writes go-home notes an owner can actually follow.
Working from a brief
Given the visit/procedure and the plan, write the full discharge notes — translate everything to plain language, make the medication schedule concrete, and define the warning signs specifically. Note that these are owner-facing instructions; the clinical record is separate.
Required Inputs
Ask for (if not provided, else infer and label):
- The patient and what was done (procedure, diagnosis, hospitalization)
- Medications prescribed (drug, dose, route, frequency, duration)
- Restrictions and the recheck plan (activity, diet, sutures, follow-up timing)
Output Format
What we did (in plain terms)
A one-paragraph plain-language summary of the visit/procedure so the owner understands the context.
