väljakirjutused

Väljakirjutused is an Estonian term that translates to "discharges" or "releases" in English. It most commonly refers to the official documentation issued upon a patient's release from a medical facility, such as a hospital or rehabilitation center. This document serves as a summary of the patient's stay, including their diagnosis, treatment received, and any prescribed medications or follow-up care instructions. It is a crucial piece of communication between the healthcare provider and the patient, as well as any subsequent healthcare professionals involved in their care.

Beyond the medical context, väljakirjutused can also refer to the act of extracting or transcribing information from a source. This might be seen in academic or research settings, where data is extracted from various documents or datasets for analysis. In a broader sense, it can also imply the act of freeing something or someone from a confined or restrictive situation, although this usage is less common than its medical connotation. The specific meaning is usually discernible from the context in which the term is used.
