Write discharge advice in the patient's language

Turn a doctor's discharge summary into simple Hindi or regional-language instructions for the family.

Recommended: BuilderWritingCommunication

Best for

  • Nursing staff and patient counsellors
  • Families who read Hindi or a regional language better than English
  • Clinics sending advice home on WhatsApp or paper

What you need

  • An AI assistant your hospital has approved
  • The discharge summary with personal details removed
  • A staff member fluent in the target language to review

Starter prompt

Copy it, fill in the parts in square brackets, and paste it into the AI assistant your organisation allows.

Rewrite the discharge advice below for a patient's family in simple [Hindi/Marathi/Tamil/other]. Use short sentences a school student could follow. Keep medicine names, doses and timings exactly as given, and write them in English in brackets as well. Organise it as: medicines and when to take them, food and activity, warning signs that mean come back to hospital, and the follow-up date. Do not add any medical advice that is not in the original. At the end, list any words you were unsure how to translate. Discharge advice: [paste masked text]

How to use it

  2. 2.Generate the draft

  3. 3.Have a fluent reviewer check

  4. 4.Print or share

  1. 1

    Remove personal details

    Strip name, address, phone and ID numbers from the summary. Use only a tool your hospital has approved.

  2. 2

    Generate the draft

    Run the starter prompt with the target language. Ask for a second version if the first reads too formally.

  3. 3

    Have a fluent reviewer check

    A colleague fluent in the language checks meaning, doses and timings against the English original. Correct anything that drifted.

  4. 4

    Print or share

    Add the patient's name back by hand, then print or send it through your usual channel.

Watch out. Translation can quietly change a dose or a warning sign. Mask personal data before pasting, and never hand this over without a fluent staff member checking it against the original.

What you end up with

Discharge instructions the family can actually read and follow at home.
