You may be able to import the patient demographics from medisoft if you are using x link. (I do not use it and am not sure about this.) You should also be able to export in excel format from medisoft and import demographic data.

THEORETICALLY, you might be able to sync the two practices. HOWEVER, it might not work if they have different practice names, and because they will have different names for the same patient numbers it will probably NOT WORK. I understand there may be a way to manually do this (merging databases) but that is much more involved.

If you two are close in time to merging, perhaps he can wait and simply start using your AC. If you are a distance out... the answer becomes more questionable.

Later you can scan his old patient charts, but this takes a lot of time, especially with 1000's of charts.

The patient's expectation is that you have all the answers, sometimes they just don't like the answer you have for them
