Discharging a Patient

You should always perform a discharge even if your previous patient was not admitted. A discharge:

resets patient category and paced settings to the settings defined in the default Profile

resets all monitor and measurement settings as well as the active Screen to the settings defined in the default Profile

discharges the patient from the Information Center.

When a patient is discharged from the monitor or from an Information Center, all patient data is deleted. Make sure that you have printed out any required reports before discharging. Check that a functioning local or central printer is available before you use End Case.
