Printing a Patient Label

A patient label puts the patient's key identifiers on a single 4x2.4 in sticker, so paperwork and items stay tied to the right chart.

Where to Find It

From the Chart, click View patient details. In the patient details window, click the Patient label icon at the top right, next to Download chart.

The Patient Label window shows a preview of the label as a PDF, with Open in a new tab and Download file. Print it from the PDF on your label printer.

What the Label Shows

Each label carries:

• The patient's full name, in white on a black band
• DOB: the date of birth
• MRN: the medical record number, preceded by the patient's initials
• The date and time the label was generated, in the practice's time zone

A line is left out when the chart has no date of birth or MRN.

Printer Settings

The label is 4x2.4 in, the same size as bottle labels, so the same printer and paper settings work for both. See Printer Settings to Print Labels.

With the printer set up, a label for any patient is a few clicks away in their chart.
