description: The Discharge Summary is a document which synopsizes a patient's admission to a hospital, LTPAC provider, or other setting. It provides information for the continuation of care following discharge. The Joint Commission requires the following information to be included in the Discharge Summary (http://www.jointcommission.org/):\n\n• The reason for hospitalization (the admission)\n\n• The procedures performed, as applicable\n\n• The care, treatment, and services provided\n\n• The patient’s condition and disposition at discharge\n\n• Information provided to the patient and family\n\n• Provisions for follow-up care\n\nThe best practice for a Discharge Summary is to include the discharge disposition in the display of the header. package_name: hl7.fhir.us.ccda derivation: constraint name: C-CDA on FHIR Discharge Summary type: Composition elements: type: {short: Discharge Summary, type: CodeableConcept, label: Discharge Summary, index: 0} section: index: 1 elements: title: {name: section_slice_pos27, short: title, index: 111} code: short: Diet and nutrition name: section_slice_pos27 type: CodeableConcept pattern: type: CodeableConcept value: coding: - {code: 61144-2, system: 'urn:oid:2.16.840.1.113883.6.1'} label: Diet and nutrition index: 112 text: {name: section_slice_pos27, short: text, index: 113} entry: {name: section_slice_pos24, type: Reference, short: entry, array: true, index: 101} required: [text, title, code] package_version: 1.6.0 class: profile kind: resource url: http://hl7.org/fhir/ccda/StructureDefinition/ccda-discharge-summary-composition base: http://hl7.org/fhir/ccda/StructureDefinition/ccda-us-realm-header-composition version: null required: [type]
