INFO: Letters & Referrals - Wordsmith

Elation's AI powered Wordsmith streamlines the creation of referral and letter documentation. 

🔑 Key Highlights

• Draft letters instantly using patient data
  Automatically generates referral letters, provider letters, and patient communications using information already in the chart (e.g., medications, problem list, recent visits, labs). 
• Reduces manual documentation time
  Creates a complete first draft so providers can review and refine rather than start from scratch. 
• Improves completeness of clinical communication
  Helps ensure important patient details are included by pulling from structured chart data. 
• Works with existing templates
  Can be used alongside your current letter templates to generate or enhance content. 
• Fully editable and customizable
  Users can refine tone, format, and instructions to align with their documentation style. 

⚠️ Important Notes

• Requires clinical review before sending
  Wordsmith generates drafts to accelerate workflows, but final content should always be reviewed and edited by the provider. 
• Uses only selected chart data
  Drafts are based on structured patient data and recent clinical records; some sources (e.g., external reports or confidential data) are not automatically included.
