Is the discharge certificate a medical record?

Well, the discharge certificate can't be on the medical record, but in fact, when you leave the hospital, the hospital will make a more formal discharge summary, which will be signed by the attending doctor. At the same time, there will be medical records of hospitalization at that time, treatment methods and treatment feedback after hospitalization, and then there will be some examinations before discharge and some medical advice after discharge. It should be a relatively complete case, usually for insurance claims or hospital use. Well, it should be.

So the discharge summary is a case, and the discharge certificate is not a medical record.
