Custom patient field placeholders can now be added to letters, appointment confirmations, reminders, cancellations, and invoice templates!

Adding custom patient fields

To add or modify existing custom patient fields to your account, head over to Settings → Custom patient fields:

From here, Administrators or Power receptionists can create, edit, or archive patient fields. If any updates are made, just make sure to save your changes.

Adding custom patient field placeholders to templates

When editing your communication templates, you’ll then see a list of custom patient fields within the Patient placeholders drop-down:

At the bottom of the placeholders list, any custom fields will be automatically grouped by the custom patient field section title added in Settings → Custom patient fields:

Once your placeholders have been added, to see an example of what the communication will look like for your patients click View sample :

Just note: If a field is archived after it’s already been used as a placeholder, we would substitute it with a blank. Additionally, if no custom patient details have been saved for the patient, no information will be displayed.

Of course, make sure to save any changes to your communications and once completed, you’re all set!
