Patient Documents

Importing Documents for Provider or Staff Review

Workflow Steps

  1. Upload document to patient documents section and place in the most appropriate category.
  2. Best practice: Assign the document date, not the date you upload it (it will default to the current date). – In other words, if it is a report of some type, select the date of the report in the Upload Documents window.
  3. You can flag the document for review by selecting the “File For Review” checkbox and select the appropriate staff member.
  4. Best practice is to give the document a meaningful name like “Labs Saint Francis 08/24/24”  – Document names can be edited after uploading.
  5. Optional: Uploaded documents can be shared with the patient via the portal (PHR), or via Text via check box selection.

Received Documents with No Patient Record

When you receive documents via fax, mail, or in person for which there is no patient chart, you can use the patient titled “DOCUMENT REVIEW” (PAT1012) as an attachment point for the document.
