Email Template

Updated by Steven Garand

Emails based on a template (Email Template feature) can be sent manually at any time and are not tied to a workflow. Multiple Email recipients are allowed. The subject and body can contain placeholders such as ~patientName~ which are substituted for the actual patient name from the open order.
A placeholder for the abbreviation of the patient name (~patientAbrev.nn.nn~) must have the nn value replaced by the appropriate 2 digit numbers. The first nn number is the number of leading characters shown in the patients first name and the second nn number is the number of leading characters shown in the patients last name. Using ~patientAbrev.01.03~ for example would be replaced by the patients first initial followed by a space then followed by the first 3 characters of the patients last name. The number must always be 2 digits with a leading 0 if necessary and using the patient abbreviation placeholders with different numbers in the same email section is not allowed (example using ~patientAbrev.01.03~ and ~patientAbrev.03.03~ in the body of the same email will not work properly). Also using the Email template with this feature may not work properly if the patient has a space in the first or last name (the Email sent from the workflow will work properly with a space in the first or last name but note that a space in the name is counted as a character).
