ICATS Referral Letter Template

Long waiting lists in Northern Ireland have led to a new service called ICATS (Integrated Care and Treatment Service) which is being established to help reduce the length of time patients are waiting to receive treatment.  The ICATS Referral template allows Vision users in Northern Ireland to create an ICATS Referral Letter as a Word document. It automatically extracts data from the Vision database to produce a letter that can then be edited. The template ICATS.DOC has been automatically downloaded into P:\WORDPROC\TEMPLATE in DLM 237 for Northern Ireland practices.
