What more can it offer us beyond just creating a big dumping ground for all incoming faxes?
Once the document is received in Updox, it can be:
-- routed to another user for actions (as below)
-- deleted (ie, spam)
-- "marked up" (edited, ie: form completed/filled out, with changes saved)
-- saved to Imported Items in AC within a custom folder (not limited to default AC folders)
-- emailed and/or faxed out and/or sent to a patient portal -- with a secure message to the recipient
All with a single mouse click
Does it integrate at all with scanned documents?
Yes, scanned docs can go into a folder on the PC and will be automatically uploaded into the Updox workspace. In addition, any document created in any application on the computer can be uploaded to Updox by "printing" using the Updox Central printer extension installed in the computer's "Devices & Printers" Control Panel.
The ability for us to annotate/comment on labs and have it remain with the lab as a permanent part of the record is crucial.... How does this get accomplished within Updox?
When the document is saved to AC's Imported Items, a window opens with the date of the import (can be modified), and an area for notes, which is saved with the document. Or the document can be "marked up" with comments directly on the report, and saved.
Do the comments stay with that lab as part of a permanent record?
Yes.
