Litera

Discharge instructions patients can follow.

Litera turns discharge into a clear, multilingual action plan patients can replay, share with caregivers, and confirm they understood.

  • Structured steps for meds, follow-ups, and red flags
  • Caregiver-shareable plan in the patient's language
  • 48-hour check-in to confirm understanding

Instructions get forgotten

Patients forget up to 80% of what clinicians tell them by the time they get home.

Medication schedules get missed

Complex regimens without clear structure lead to non-adherence and confusion.

Follow-ups fall through

Without reminders and clear next steps, critical appointments get overlooked.

Discharge is the handoff with the most entropy.

How it works

Four steps to better follow-through

Step 1 · Capture

Record at the bedside

The care team captures discharge details during the visit, ensuring nothing is lost in translation.

Step 2 · Simplify

Structure into clear steps

Litera transforms clinical notes into an easy-to-follow action plan with meds, follow-ups, and warning signs.

Step 3 · Share

Deliver in any language

Patients receive their plan in their preferred language, with audio replay and caregiver sharing built in.

Step 4 · Confirm

48-hour check-in

An automated follow-up confirms the patient understood their plan and surfaces gaps for the care team.
