Home Forums Discussions General Discussion How do I handle ALL of the Faxes I receive?

We use a program called Snappy Fax - it is free to try for 30 days, then $29.99 to buy for one computer. It handles all our incoming and outgoing faxes. We save faxes as PDF files which can be marked-up with Adobe Acrobat Typewriter Tool and we can insert signatures. Then you can import the PDF file into the patient's chart.

To send a fax, simply go to print a document, but instead print it to the "Snappy Fax Printer" - this takes you into the program where you can then select the recipient's fax number from your contact list. We've been using this program in conjunction with a Toshiba ScanSnap S1500 to scan paper documents for faxing. To send a patient's chart, we just print the entire chart to the "Snappy Fax Printer", add a cover page in the Snappy Fax program, and away it goes. We've been using it for over a year and have no complaints. It was a one-time purchase of the scanner (which we needed for scanning in paper charts anyways), the software, and the monthly phone bill.
