Tip 22:Sequence relevant information based on importance.
Tip 23: Irrelevant information/details:Information not related to the chief complaint of the patient and not useful to the reader, an emergency department consultant, to initiate the expected care/action should be ignored. Otherwise, it may confuse the reader, and even be counter-productive as it may increase the length of your letter.
Tip 24: Common medical abbreviations can be used as the reader (a doctor) must be familiar with them.
Tip 25:Avoid capitalizing generic drug name(s). (If you are using brand names, capitalize accordingly.)
