This article addresses the no cost options available to you if you desire to export information out of the MacPractice database. The article is split into two parts: options that pull information for a single patient, or options that pull information from the entire database.

If none of these options address your current needs, you can also speak to our Conversions Department by calling Support and requesting to speak to a member of Conversions regarding your needs.

From here, you can customize what information is pulled onto the Clinical Summary, and you can then preview all of the contents of the Summary. If you want to Print the summary, simply select the Print radio button at the top and click the Export button in the lower right corner.

Demographics

Remember to use the PDF Preview option if you would prefer to have a PDF of the Patient Face Sheet instead.
