How Do I Write A Letter?
Creating a letter is very easy in ClinicYou. You do that right within the patient's medical record. All letters are attached to episodes you enter in the medical record, so you have a context for the letter. This is a bit like attaching a photograph to a social media post!
Letters created within ClinicYou can have diagnosis and drug list appended on it and automatically generates a professional looking layout for you. You can even have your clinic logo and signature image appear on the finished letter.
You can choose to attach a new letter to any of the historic episodes retrospectively - so if you need to attach one to last week's clinic notes, you can.
You can create a new note by clicking the + icon at the far end or if you have no entries on the page, use the icon on page.
By default ClinicYou offers to attach the letter to the latest note in the medical record. Click the menu to to choose another episode if desired. You can choose the primary addressee from the dropdown menu and if the addressee is not in the menu, you can add them in the letter itself. You can also copy the letter to patient, or add multiple other contacts. If your contacts have email addresses, the 'email' action below will auto-populate these in the email page for ease of use.
Letters appear as attachments to notes as shown below:
Letters which have not been processed further will be highlighted in yellow colour. Click the letter name for more actions, when you will be able to view the letter. In the letter view, you have further actions such as print locally, use our CloudPrint service, or email through ClinicYou servers. You can also generate a PDF and download it to your computer for further actions if required.
If you see that the letter layout appears wrong, especially the addressee appears in the wrong part of the letter, make sure the zoom level on the page is sent to 100%. Zooming out can throw the page layout out of order. This can affect PDF generation and CloudPrint.
