In the EHR

Print headers are managed under Print Headers in a practice’s settings. A header belongs to the practice rather than to a single provider, so anyone in the practice can choose it when printing a document or sending a letter, and each user can set one as their default. A text header holds lines such as the practice’s name and contact details, and an image header holds a logo or other graphic with a chosen alignment. See the Print Headers Guide.

Working with print headers via the API

Printable views use a print header only when you pass one. Retrieve the Printable Lab Order View and Retrieve a printable view of a report accept a print header’s id in the print_header query parameter. Without the parameter, the PDF’s header is built from the practice’s name, address, phone, and fax, and the default header a user has chosen in the EHR is not applied. Pass print_header whenever the PDF should carry one of the practice’s custom headers. Deleting a print header archives it. DELETE marks the header deleted rather than removing it. The header stays retrievable by its id and continues to appear in list responses, with deleted_date set to the time it was deleted. Check deleted_date when you need only the headers a practice currently offers.
