- How to read a discharge summary
The usual sections of a hospital discharge summary, the abbreviations you will meet (Hx, Dx, o/e, NAD, TTO) and how a German Arztbrief is built, in plain English.
Every guide covers a single document or step and links to the sources it uses. We publish new guides gradually: a guide is only released when it answers a real question more effectively than the material already available. Planned topics are set out in the editorial policy.
