transport software (as opposed to using MedicalDirector's MDExchange
system). If you are unsure of which configuration to select, or cannot
see your desired configuration in the list, please contact your Systems

via Clinical's Manage Communications utility.

after which Letter Writer will close and you will be returned to the patient's
Clinical Window.
Note that as the author
of the CDA document,
you are responsible for its content.
