In addition to sending an email, you can add attachments directly to the Comm Log via the ‘Attachments’ button.
The Attachments feature is located at the bottom of the Send tab in the Comm Log.
Once selected, you can easily attach any Document that already exists in the patient’s Chart. However, PDFs and common image files are the only file types that will display as options to attach to an email. All other file types are not supported to be sent through the Comm Log Email feature.
A Trash icon appears next to Attachments after you have selected one or more items from the Attachments screen. This button is a quick way to unselect all items in Attachments.
Once sent, the email will include a download link to the PDF which will include all of the selected attachments in one file. Clicking on the download link will automatically download the PDF and open it, then the recipient can either print or save to their computer. The emailed link will remain available for 7 days before it expires.
The Comm Log history will also record if there were any Attachments included in the email and will display the attachments in the order they were selected from the Attachment module. Clicking on the View sent PDF link will allow you to view the PDF’s that were sent.
Older Comm Log history will show a generalized category name of the document with the number of files attached within that category.
