Common Use Cases for Cloud Fax in Epic
Connect Legacy Pharmacy Systems
Pharmacy A needs to transfer a prescription to pharmacy B. Pharmacy A is using Epic as their EHR, but pharmacy B has only legacy software and a fax machine. Pharmacy A can use their Retarus Cloud Fax, integrated into Epic, to transmit the document via Retarus to pharmacy B.
Make Electronic Recordkeeping Easy and Efficient
Medical practices keep track of patient records in electronic form, helping them to be more organized and save paper. Epic will automatically store faxes attached to patient records, so that there is no confusion about what was sent and to whom.
Transmit Laboratory Orders with Streamlined Digital Workflows
A hospital needs to send a blood work order to a laboratory. The doctor inputs all the relevant information into a form, which generates an electronic lab order. The hospital staff now have the option to send the order to the lab via fax, directly from Epic. All records are saved automatically and sent securely under HIPAA compliance.
Send Only Relevant Pages of Entire Records
Instead of faxing entire patient records – which could be thousands of pages long – to specialized physicians when referring patients, doctors can fax just the relevant pages or information. Within Epic, they can select specific data, such as information about the patient’s latest visit, simply generate a fax, and immediately send it directly to where it needs to go.
Fax ROI Requests Directly from Epic
Release of Information (ROI) is a process found in most hospitals. Various organizations can request patient information or history from a hospital. Epic has an automated process to generate these ROI requests, and then fax them via the Epic software integration.
Generate and Send UM Evaluation Forms
Utilization management (UM) is a process that evaluates the efficiency, appropriateness, and medical necessity of the treatments, services, and procedures provided to patients. Epic has automated processes to generate these evaluation forms, which can be faxed via the Cloud Fax Integration.
