Italian term

in dimissione

Italian to English Medical Medical (general) Progress Notes
This is a note in the chart of a patient hospitalized for chest pain and treated with PTCA and stent placement.

The doctor's notes say:

vital signs
EO= ndn [PE: unremarkable]
In dimissione

I want to put "being discharged" here . . . except that this note was written in the morning, and there are notes written the next morning also, so the patient wasn't discharged on the day that the doctor wrote "in dimissione". Is there any other way to translate "in dimissione", or do you agree with my guess?

Thanks for the help!

in the discharge room? Maybe the patient was allowed to go home but for some logistic reason could not leave until the next day?

>> in dimissione = may be discharged/ patient for discharge

Hi Joseph Not really my "specialty" as you say in the West, but If I read that I wouldn't think twice, I'd just think "Oh he's going home". As for when precisely, well all it really says is presumably some time soon, i.e. that is the plan.

For discharge

If it's on the doctor's notes, this should suffice.
