Swedish term or phrase: Avskriven utan uppföljning

Entered on a patient's medical record after a consultation. While I get the gist (sent away, everything is fine, no need for them to come back), what's a nice way of putting it?

discharged without follow-up

Explanation:
The "nice", professional way it's written on a patient chart. Examples of the phrase are at the link. (It's rightfully hard to find actual patient records on the Internet.)

dismissed without follow-up

Explanation:
There is a difference between "avskriven" and "utskriven" in Swedish. The latter is generally translated with "discharged" as in "discharged from hospital". "Avskriven" is used when the medical condition is considered solved and no further follow-up is necessary. References re. MRSA.
