You can create a PDF copy of a single encounter note to download, print, email or fax. This is useful when you need to provide an overview of a particular patient visit. The generated PDF is not saved to the patient chart.
The PDF includes a header with the current date, patient demographics and your location details.
The body of the PDF is broken into subsections matching the sections of your encounter such as History or Injections. If a section does not contain data, it is not included in the PDF.
📌 Note: The names of Attachments, Forms and Letters are shown but the actual document is not included.
