Generate and Save a Benign Pathology Letter

For those patients who have confirmed benign pathology results, you can generate and customize a letter that can be sent to notify patients of the results. The letter can be saved with the encounter so that it is a permanent part of the medical record.

From the Biopsy Log, select a record in the Pathology Orders grid.
The data for that record fills the Pathology Results section.
For Dermatology patients, select the Launch Patient Chart link that displays in the Pathology Results section.
The Patient Chart for the selected patient appears.
For other specialties, open the patient chart and, if necessary, open a new encounter for the patient.
To open the Documents and Letters template, do one of the following:
- Use Template Launcher in the History toolbar to open the Documents and Letters template.
- Select the specialty and select Patient Communication as the visit type. Then select Document Library in the navigation bar or the sub-navigation link to open the Documents and Letters template.
On the Document and Letters template, click the Benign Pathology Letter link.
The system generates and displays the letter.
Make any necessary changes to the text, including adding images or lab results. Click the Save application toolbar button.
Click the Print toolbar button to print out the letter.
Click the Close toolbar button to close the letter and return to the Documents and Letters template.
Click the Return to Biopsy Log button that appears to return to your workflow in the Biopsy Log.
