Summary Views Referrals

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 can be enabled by the practice to ensure a history of all changes to a referral or letter are retained. When versioning is enabled, a new referral/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
