Sample Recall Card
The standard recall card produced by this function is a three-by-five inch (3X5) tractor-fed postcard. The information on the recall card includes: the doctor's name, address and telephone number, the patient's name, length of time for the appointment (if entered), approximate date for the appointment and the reason for the recall (if entered). This information is printed in a paragraph format.
