Home Forums Discussions General Discussion Sending and receiving consults

Hello all
As you know, we all still send and receive consults on paper by fax. I have been looking for a way to do that electronically, that would automatically show the status of the consult, what appointment the patient has been given, etc. Anyone knows if such software is available?
Thanks

Don't know of any software that does all of this, but we deal with several practices(some specialists) that use Updox.

They send secure messages[consults/referrals/results] from AC through Updox to other practices. You can set an alert time-frame if the message isn't opened, which would get you part of the way there.

Besides being HIPAA complaint, it produces less paper, costs less, and is generally easier to track.

You could also use the work-flow/tagging tools inside Updox to categorize & track a given message to it's completion.

YMMV
