Available Print Template Variables
Below is the list of most common print template variables that we can use to create dynamic print templates instead of hard coding the information in. Note: These variables do not apply to fax coversheets, envelopes, or cover letters, which have a more limited selection due to privacy and HIPAA regulations.

Warning: When submitting a print template request (See How To Submit A Print Template Request), please let the print template team know if you have changed the format in Client Maintenance -> Client Defaults -> Non-Workflow Settings -> Patient Name Format so that the team can set the proper format to match the request on the template based on what will actually be written. We will be checking this location for the setting if it not mentioned which will also determine on how a name actually gets parsed.
