Issue a medical certificate

Available to

Clinicians.

A medical certificate states, for example, that a patient needs rest or is fit for work. Once issued it is a signed record with a verification code.

Open the encounter and select Medical Certificate, or open Documents → Medical Certificates and select New.
Choose the Certificate Type: Sick leave, Fitness for work / school, Attendance, Medical report, Fitness to travel or Other.
Enter Valid From and Valid To. A sick-leave certificate needs the period; the rest days are calculated.
Enter the Addressee (employer or school) and the Findings / Statement.
Only disclose the diagnosis if the patient agreed: tick Disclose Diagnosis, enter the Diagnosis Text, and tick Patient Consented to Disclosure.
Select Issue. Only the named clinician can issue. Then select Print.

An issued certificate cannot be edited or deleted. To correct it, select Revoke, enter the Revocation Reason, and issue a new one.
Only the issuing clinician or a manager can revoke.
Only an issued certificate can be printed.
