Confirming Printed Letters

When you are satisfied that your letters have printed correctly, you need to confirm each letter type printed within the system. Confirming a printed letter causes OrthoTrac to record an entry in a patient’s tracking history.

If you are using the document storage feature, confirming a letter also places a document icon in the V (View) column in the Patient Tracking window. Click the document icon to view a copy of the letter.

To confirm letters:

1. Click the Word Processing button from the main menu. The Word Processing menu is displayed. Select Post and Print Letters. The Post and Print Letters window is displayed.

2. Double-click on the number in the Printed column for the letter type you want to confirm. The Letter: window is displayed.

3. Click Select All to select all names on the list.

4. Click Confirm Letter. The software displays a message window, asking if you are sure you want to confirm the selected letters. Click Yes. OrthoTrac makes an entry in each patient’s tracking history, noting that the particular letter has been sent.

5. You can confirm that letters were processed for individual names on the list by selecting the name(s) and clicking Confirm Letter.
