The clinical Address Book is used to capture contact information for referring doctors, other practitioners, pathology and radiology clinics and hospitals. The Address Book is accessed whenever the user needs to write letters or referrals. It can include the contact's HPI-I so transmitted letters are uploaded to My Health Record and the secure messaging service used by the contact. When setting up a new contact, you will need to obtain specific information so they can be set up correctly.

a. Select the Paper Type.
This is the template used to print on the laboratory's branded paper. The template is created by Zedmed for the laboratory.
Add a Secure Send laboratory contact
To use Secure Send for laboratory referrals, you must create a pathology addressee with the 'PathologyZedmedRequestForm' template and a radiology addressee with the 'RadiologyZedmedRequestForm' template.
These 2 generic templates are provided by Zedmed for Secure Send, as the other templates are designed to be printed on laboratory-specific paper. These generic templates also support electronic signatures, and the practitioner who is logged in will have their signature automatically added to the referral.
Secure Send is ideal for telehealth and remote consultations where the practitioner cannot print a referral for the patient. Practitioners must select the pathology or radiology address linked to the generic secure send template, and the referral will be sent directly to the patient.
