An essential mode of contact between general practitioners (GPs) and hospital staff is the referral letter. This must be clear and concise with sufficient information to aid the GP, the consultant and the patient. In order to ensure this, a proposal was made for the use of a structured or standardized referral letter: a form letter. This report shows that form letters were shorter than typed letters. Form letters were also proven to contain more information than nonform letters.
全科医生(GP)与医院工作人员之间的一种重要联系方式是转诊信。这封信必须清晰简洁,并包含足够的信息以帮助全科医生、顾问医生和患者。为了确保这一点,有人提议使用结构化或标准化的转诊信:格式信。本报告表明,格式信比打印信更简短。事实还证明,格式信比非格式信包含更多信息。
