Clinical User Guide
Supplied Fields

The table below lists the supplied Fields available in the Letter Writer, as shown in the following image.

The Data Toolbar and available fields vary slightly, depending on whether you are within a letter or a template, and depending on whether you are using the Letter Writer from within a patient's record or via the Clinical front screen.

o      When adding fields to a letter the Data Toolbar's title is 'Data'. When adding fields to a template, it is 'Template Fields' (as shown in the image above). This is because when creating a letter, the fields you insert become immediately populated with data for the patient whose record you have open, whereas with a template the fields do not become populated until a new letter is created.

o      You have access to a greater variety of fields when using the Letter Writer from within a patient's record, than from the Clinical front screen. This is because many of the fields relate specifically to patient clinical or demographic data. As such, these fields are only available when a patient's record is open.

o      When adding fields to a template, you have access to an extra field called 'User Defined'. This field allows you to create customised field codes for use in your template. (See Custom Fields for further information)
