Customise the Patient Summary Export
Customise the Patient Summary report to your precise requirements for a single export or by creating a new report option set.
Users with Report Administration system rights can save new customised reports for future use, or save modifications to existing customised reports.
You would typically modify the patient summary only for clinical reasons. You must start from an existing definition and change it to your requirements.
You can also export clinical documents related to the patient.
