You may have several form letters that you tend to send to patients. Examples might be notification of test results, biopsy reports, notes to employer, etc. You can choose to use a template to create the major portion of the letter.
After you have chosen the template, you can associate the letter with a particular episode of care. Then enter the date of the letter. Choose the sender. Make any changes you would like to make in the letter. You can then "Cancel" out of this module, "Clear" what you have written or "Add" to enter the letter into FreeMED. Notice!! You should not write the patient's address, Sincerely, and your printed name. If you have entered your scanned signature, then the word Sincerely, your scanned signature and your typed name with your degree will be added to the letter.This will be displayed when you click on the print icon in Freemed next to the letter. The letter will be properly formatted.
If the letter was a typed document such as a MSWord document, you can "Browse" to the letter file and then add it. If you do this, remember that the MSword printing codes are incompatible with the TEX printing codes in FreeMED. You will be able to view such a letter but you will not be able to print copies of this type of letter later. A better solution is to scan the letter into FreeMED. Scanned letter can be added to the Letters Box module. Scanned letters and typed letters will display and print properly from FreeMED.
