Discharge from Emergency Department


Explanation:
I have seen "alta de observación" used simply as "discharged".

If you know the name of the hospital you could perhaps check their website and see if there is an actual Observation Unit in which case it could possibly be translated as "Discharge from observation care/services/unit of Emergency Department".

agree  Eliza Wright: These look like discharge instructions from an emergency department. I haven't heard of "discharge from observation" being used at least in the ED where I am now.
