It depends. I assume you mean "physical therapy". If it is just a notification, then either hit "send to" and import into the EMR in whatever category you want and sign off, or select the pages you want, hit "compose" and import. If it requires a reply, we just print it ("view as PDF" and print) then write what is needed and fax from a normal fax machine; or you can edit in UpDox and fax it back while importing. UpDox can't fax to Alaska numbers, so we use technique #1; also, although it is "cool", I find it is really a lot more time consuming to edit in UpDox and fax than just print and do it the old way.
