Letters for Home Health should only be created from Referrals and Assessments, as the letters contain information found directly in those applications. For example, a Medication letter should only be generated from Assessments and the Palliative GP letters should only be generated from the Palliative Register.
It is not recommended to generate letters from the Letters Management application because some client information will not populate the letter correctly.
