Abstract
This paper aims to establish a need for inclusion of emotional care documentation by child life specialists on hospital discharge summary forms for pediatric cancer patients. Improvements in discharge summary forms may provide more consistent and individualized emotional care, potentially yielding long-term benefits for pediatric cancer patients, their families, practitioners, and hospitals.
