Vicki,
I just spent less than 5 minutes typing up five letters on labs, and I print to Updox with the lab results. My nurse knows to send those on to the portal of each patient. So I just do the Dr stuff and she does the rest of the work--but in the old paper days that would have been a minimum of 15 minute nurse time grabbing chart, getting paper lab results, copying letter and labs putting in envelope etc. so forth
I am not trying to sell Updox, but just am reminded, especially when there are times without it how far my practice has evolved in efficiency since 11/11.
But having the patient portal tied to AC is a must in my opinion if you want to maximize efficiency--or finding something that reproduces Updox functionality.
