Patient letters can be created directly from the Patient File by clicking on the ‘Create a Patient document’ button as shown below on the Patient Tool Bar.
If EXDOC is installed these letters are automatically stored on the patient’s ‘Contacts’ tab and can be viewed and/or edited by double-clicking on the required letter.
Without EXDOC the practice will be aware of the creation of a letter, through the letter symbol, but the actual letter itself will need to be either saved manually on one of the practice computers or printed in duplicate and the copy held on file.
