So with patients already getting upset and worried about news reports about Simvastatin 80 mg I decided to use AC reporting to go through all my records and find patients on high dose simvastatin so that I could notify them -
Chose all patients with DEMOGRAPHICS-INACTIVE=FALSE
Searched active meds for Simvastatin 80 mg and ran report.
Then was able to do bulk written letter (ironically saved in chart under Rich Text Format, not usually HTML) with not perfect formatting but serviceable. Generated letters to each patient and automatically saved in each chart - sent letters to 53 patients (at least printed and saved for staff to mail) in less than 5 minutes.
