Managing referrals letters that need to be transcribed

After a provider dictates a referral letter and marks the letter as Letter and Dictated, the EMR adds the letter to the front-end staff Letters To Transcribe list. Use the letters to transcribe link on your WorkDesk to keep track of letters you need to transcribe, and to indicate that you have typed the letter.

To use the Referral Letter Composer, click Compose Referral Letter .

To use a Word document, click Run Word.
