An Electronic Work Capacity Certificate (eWCC) makes it easy for doctors to certify patient capacity and prescribe treatment. Zedmed streamlines the process of creating and sending an eWCC, and once you have created a certificate, it can be cloned by other doctors at the same practice to create new certificates for the selected patient.
To enable the eWCC, see the ReturnToWorkSA guide.
Once you have created an eWCC, it will be available to all doctors in the practice to clone (copy) if that patient requires another certificate.
To create an eWWC:
- Go to Zedmed's Reception tab.
- Select Clinical Records.
The Clinical Records screen will open. - Admit the patient from the Waiting Room or use the Open Patient button to open the patient's record.
To learn more, see the Start an encounter guide.
The Clinical Records screen will now display the patient's information.
