Patient Labels

Patient Labels can be printed for the current patient by clicking the button on the main tool bar or by the menu Report > Patient Reports > Patient Labels.

Different types of label can be printed.

The type of label printed from any particular workstation is controlled by Patient Label Options, which can be found on the menu Tools > Patient Label Options.

Unistat 38941 / Avery Laser L7160 Type Labels

L7160 labels are formatted to be suitable for letters, notes and sample bottles.

Patient name and address details are printed on the top half of the label and Date of Birth (DoB) Health Care Card (HCC) and Medicare numbers are printed on the bottom half. This allows the label to be cut in half and used as an address label.

These Communicare labels are designed for printing on Avery Laser L7160 label stationery or equivalent (21 labels per sheet, each 63.5 mm x 38.1 mm).

Unistat 38935 / Avery Laser DL30 Type Labels

DL30 labels are formatted for sample bottles.

Along with basic patient identity information, this label features:
  • A heading, which is usually set to indicate the place where the sample was taken E.G. 'Millennium Health'.
  • Spaces for date, time and specimen to be hand written in.

These Communicare labels are designed for printing on Avery Laser DL30 label stationery or equivalent (30 labels per sheet, each 64.0 mm x 25.4 mm).

Unistat 38937 / Avery Laser L7163 Type Labels

L7163 labels are also suitable for sample bottles but are larger and contain more detail than the DL30 labels. The additional details include patient address, patient Aboriginality and the name of the health service.

These Communicare labels are designed for printing on Avery Laser L7163 label stationery or equivalent (14 labels per sheet, each 99.1 mm x 38.1 mm).

Custom Report Type Labels

The user can select a specific report that has been written to suit your needs. This report can be adapted for a specific label size and to contain specific data. It can also be written to print to a specialised label printer so it can print one label rather than an A4 page of labels. There is a generic label report at Patients > Patient Mailing Label that uses Avery L7042D labels.
