Printing a patient letter at check-in

I was wondering if it was possible to select a patient letter (instead of or as well as a patient form) at check-in?

No. You are restricted to printing patient forms.
Patient Letters can be printed at check-out. These have typically been created as part of invoicing, when a product has a Patient Letter template.
Whats the business case for printing letters at check-in?

Just to clarify, you want to be able to print multiple Patient Forms and Patient Letters at both Check-In and Consult?

Hi Glen and Tim,
I am sure that some of the features being discussed have come up before;
- The printing of Patient Letters as well as Patient forms is closely related to Amanda's request to have different document formats able to be included in the Forms templates. The example she was giving was the ability to print/attach different types of static documents and have them come up in the Forms list. This is an active project. With patient Letters, we are prompted for text as they are created. Can you give some specific examples of what sort of letter you might want to have created at Check In Glen? I can certainly think of documents with static text that we might want at Check In (eg. New Client information, Drop off info etc).
I'm not sure how a tick box would work for printing multiple copies Glen? Do you envision say a tick box that says "Print Multiple" and that for any document with that box ticked, there is a pop up that asks how many copies?
What about this;
A new type of document selector at checkin. This document selector would;
1) Show more then just forms. In fact it would show any template that has a Classification "Check In Document" (See Below)
2) The templates so listed have a Print button. Multiple copies can be printed by pressing the button multiple times. Normal Interactive/Non interactive behaviour applies.
We would need to add the ability to have Classifications for Templates so they can be grouped into lists.
I like this type document selector for most use cases. Furthermore by having templates able to be grouped into user defined lists, creates the possibility of filtering documents in most use cases. eg. Check In Documents, Check Out Documents, New Client Documents etc etc. We have hundreds of templates and effective filtering the template list requires a good knowledge of what they are called.
As for printing at invoicing, this has been raised before and I think it is a very good idea. I really must create an active project for it!
