wypisanie

Wypisanie is a Polish term formed from the verb wypisać, meaning to write out, to extract, or to issue in written form. In everyday Polish the noun can denote the act of producing a written extract or the discharge of a person from an institution. Its specific meaning is determined by context; in official or professional language it is often paired with a complement indicating the source (for example, ze szpitala, z rejestru, z dokumentu).

In medical contexts, wypisanie ze szpitala refers to the discharge of a patient from hospital or clinic when the patient’s condition allows safe completion of inpatient care. The discharge is typically accompanied by a discharge summary containing diagnosis, treatment received, current medications, and recommendations for home care, follow-up appointments, and warning signs. The process involves the medical team and can include patient education, prescriptions, and a care plan to ensure continuity of care.

In administrative, civil, or legal contexts, wypisanie describes producing an extract from a document or registry, such as a wypis z rejestru, a printout or copy of specific entries. It may be used to obtain an official excerpt necessary for administrative proceedings, inheritance, civil status matters, or genealogical research. The exact form and certification requirements vary by jurisdiction and document type; it is often delivered as a formal document known as an extract or official copy (odpis, wypis).

Related terms include wypis (extract or copy), odpis (certificate copy), and wydruk (printout).
