BTW, Khalid, since you are gastroenterology, let me tell you another trick I learned. I do my endoscopies at the hospital procedure room, which uses Provation as its endoscopy software. I take a thumb drive with me to the procedure room, and plug it in to the terminal I am using. When I print the report from Provation, I can choose which printer to print to. One of the choices is a pdf program that lets me send the report directly as a pdf file to the thumb drive. I then take the thumb drive back to the office, and import directly to imported items in AC This leaves me with a full color, high resolution version of the report and pictures. I am also using UpDox, and then send a brief report and a copy of the procedure note to the patient and/or referring physician.
