Wayne, UpDox serves as our fax machine and portal. We don't do many online consults, but sometimes I wll ask a patient to send me serial blood pressures or the like, and it's nice for that. We mostly use the portal for outgoing notifications, and it's really nice that it integrates with AC. it has several other features like online forms that we use some. All in all we are quite happy with it.

And, Wendell, I'm really intolerant of patients who curse or threaten my staff. My staff has very little power, whereas I have lots. To quote Spiderman "with great power comes great responsibility" and for me that means I am responsible for my staff's working environment.
