When you open a patient in clinical, Summary Views will appear on the lower left. You do not need to start an encounter. The Referrals Summary View shows referrals grouped into Pathology, Radiology and Letter.
The status of each referral is indicated as follows: Red icon= Open referral | Green icon = closed referral.
Edit a referral letter (versioning)
Versioning is a feature that the practice can enable to ensure a history of all changes to a referral or letter is retained. When versioning is enabled, a new referral or letter is created when a change is made. Requires Zedmed v37 or later.
To modify a CDA or Referral letter, right-click the letter and select Create New Version. An editable copy of the referral will open with a version suffix (v2, v3 ...).
• Versioned referrals are displayed using a tree structure.
• With versioning enabled, a new referral/letter will be created with a v1 suffix by default.
• Delete Document can be given a time limit by the practice.
• A new document version can be created from any version of a document, it does not have to be the latest. So if you have v1, v2 and v3, you can create a new version of v2
Referral letter preview
When you click on a Referral Letter in Summary Views, a preview opens beside it. Use the Preview menu to zoom in and out, move to the next page and print. The zoom level will be retained for that session. Pathology and Radiology are not supported.
Document Preview is enabled by default. It can be disabled under My Options > Enable Document Preview.
