🧠 Problem Title: The Doctored Discharge: The Healthcare Communication Gap
📝 Problem Description

When patients transition from specialist hospitals to home care, they receive complex, often illegible discharge summaries filled with cryptic medical shorthand. Local family physicians are left to decipher these documents, creating a dangerous "continuity gap." This disconnect leads to medication errors, missed drug interactions, and avoidable hospital readmissions. It turns a critical medical transition into a game of "telephone," where the patient’s safety is sacrificed to poor documentation and a lack of standardized digital communication.
