The Address database is a provider listing that can be used for carbon copies, referring physicians or inserted in a document. The typist has access to the Address database when adding cc's, in the report data screen, or while in a document by pressing CTRL A. This brings up the Address list and the typist can search for and select a provider to insert that name into a document.
Addresses can be imported or added individually. There are two formats that can be used to import addresses. To use these formats, the address data needs to be on an Excel spreadsheet saved as a comma delimited file (CSV). Address1 and Address2 formats are outlined below:
