How do I send a carbon copy to another clinician?

Telephone Dictation Process:

It is best to dictate the CC recipients at the beginning and not during the body of the dictation. However, if a CC is required after the dictation has been completed, please follow the instructions below:

Call back into the dictation system with the same patient information, work type, facility and indicate that you would like the additional carbon copy (CC) added to the original report you just completed. You can also contact Transcription Services to add the additional CC.

When requesting CCs for your report, please ensure you include the recipient's full name (first and last, spelling if a difficult name), specialty, and the city of practice and/or the clinic/team's full name. There are many recipients and teams (i.e., Mental Health Team) with the same or similar name in the Lower Mainland and spelling the name will prevent the report from being delayed.

CC Process

‎For clinicians using electronic signature (Cerner, CAIS, M*Modal)

Please add in your CC recipients prior to electronic signature based on your established site process.
