Epicrisis Stage

A staged epicrisis is a document drawn up by a doctor in order to ensure continuity of treatment when a patient is transferred from one medical institution to another.

The stage epicrisis includes the following information:

1. Patient's passport details
2. Diagnosis of the disease
3. History of the disease and treatment performed
4. Results of laboratory and instrumental studies
5. The effect of the treatment
6. Recommendations for further treatment and examination

A staged epicrisis allows doctors seeing a patient in another medical institution to gain a complete understanding of the course of the disease, the examination and treatment performed. This is necessary to develop the correct treatment tactics, prescribe adequate treatment, and avoid duplication of diagnostic procedures. Thus, a staged epicrisis ensures continuity and continuity of the treatment process.

Stage epicrisis (from ancient Greek ἐπίκρισις - judgment, decision, sentence, investigation) - E. compiled within a specified period (in our country - usually simultaneously with discharge) in a medical institution (health care organization) for the purpose of registration records relating to the patient's health status and the conduct of the said institution; serves, so to speak, as a “document” according to which the patient will be transferred from the hands of a medical institution to the hands of another, where the patient will continue to receive specialized medical care.
