About Document Designer

Document Designer (DD) can be used to design and edit documents which can be printed from SOAPware, i.e. referral letter, reports, etc.  Documents can be created using free text or free text combined with commands and macros that automatically transfer data from a patient chart, e.g. patients name, demographics, vital signs, EKG/ECG reports, etc.
