I know of four methods (I am sure there are more) for importing and dealing with documents:
1. Leslie's method
2. The normal method
3. UpDox
4. FAP
I would be inclined to say that of the "normal" type methods, Leslie's method is by far and way the best. I would have never thought of it. Basically, (correct me if I am wrong Leslie) she does her sorting PRIOR to having her staff import them. This makes her signing of the documents easy because she does them all at one time or from a room, and her staff can assume they are seen and ready PRIOR to entering the import jungle of AC. All in all, I would call it the number one method.
In an entirely different method, FAP is a close second and is completely different in that the files never get into AC. Try to remember that with the import method, they never get into AC either. They just reside in subfolders in a folder called ImportedItems. These are linked to patients via an ImportItems database.
The normal method does not get my vote.
UpDox can be a great way if you can afford the monthly fee and it has a moderately steep learning curve.
