FAQS

I need help with how to write a proper summary of a medical chart.

There are two types of summaries you might be referring to:

A discharge summary
1. See page 51 (51 of the PDF, but 41 of the document) of the World Health Organization's Medical Records Manual at https://apps.who.int/iris/handle/10665/208125
A medical record summary for a legal case
1. See page 82 (82 of the PDF, but 72 of the document) of the World Health Organization's Medical Records Manual at https://apps.who.int/iris/handle/10665/208125

For citing summaries in APA from another source (such as a medical chart or article) please see our APA summary citation examples.
