utskriving

Utskrivning is a Norwegian term with several related senses, all centered on producing a written copy or issuing an official document. The core idea is to make something readable and usable by others by writing it out or producing a copy. The word is built from ut- (out) and skrive (to write), and the exact nuance depends on context.

In everyday and administrative language, utskrivning most often refers to the production of a copy of a document. An utskrift is the result, a printout or hard copy, and the action of creating it is commonly described as utskrivning. This usage covers bank statements, diplomas, contracts, receipts and other formal documents, whether in paper form or as digital exports.

In the health sector, utskrivning commonly denotes the discharge of a patient from hospital or other health-care facility. The discharge includes a plan for ongoing care, instructions for medication, and arrangements for follow-up. The precise procedures and requirements vary by country and institution.

In information technology and public administration, utskrivning can refer to generating and providing documents or records to individuals or organizations, such as certificate letters, licenses, or official notices, as well as the act of sending data to a printer.

Related terms include utskrift (the printout or copy) and the verb phrase skrive ut (to print out or issue). The exact nuance of utskrivning is context dependent, especially distinguishing between the act of creating a copy and the act of issuing an official document or discharge.
