Did you know? In Epic, the Communications section can be used to send letters to patients, providers and other clinicians, including work excuse/school excuse letters for patients. Letters can be generated with an Encounter, or outside of a scheduled visit. 

A variety of letter templates exist – or – you can create your own letter template!  Once you have composed and sent a letter, you can view it in Chart Review under the Letter tab.
