How to Print Patient Instructions

Summary

To print patient instructions, you first must have set up the instructions as a letter in the Send One Employee Letter function of the program. The instructions will print as a letter with the patient's name and address in the upper left corner, along with the date.

If you license Net Health Employee Health and Occupational Medicine , patient instructions will be entered as an order by the physician on the ORDERS tab of the charting workspace. The appropriate party will find that order in Orders Management and print as indicated.
