Vasc-Alert User Documentation
Creating a Referral Package
The Vasc-Alert Referral Module allows you to create and print a referral package from within Vasc-Alert. The package contains:
- A fax cover sheet
- A referral form, prepopulated with patient information, and specifying the procedure(s) requested, details of medication and allergies, access information and additional notes
- The most recent Patient Detail report for the patient
The referral becomes part of the patient history, and can be viewed from the Patient Detail report and from the Referral List.
NOTE:
If you have already created a referral in a different system, and just want to log it in the patient's record, see Logging Referrals from Other Systems (original version)
