* The Any Patient Flow Diagram needs to be printed on legal-size paper. When printing the diagram in Adobe Acrobat, select "Print" from the pull-down menu and then click on "Properties." Under the "Paper" tab, change the paper selection to "Legal." After clicking "OK," the diagram should either automatically print on legal-size paper or your printer will ask you to manually feed legal-size paper into the printer.
