Related to this post: we should really start emphasizing that dc summaries are not just useful for continuity of care post-discharge, but also help learners refine their management reasoning.

Writing a good dc summary helps the writer refresh what did and didn’t go well during the hospitalization.

I was recently thinking about the fact that discharge summaries are often more important than H&Ps, but we spend less time teaching how to write them, and they have less standardization in format & content.

Does anyone have a favorite “definitive” guide to what a dc summary should look like?
