The Bulk Scan Upload tool in MediRecords makes it simple to manage external documents such as scans, faxes, and reports. Instead of manually attaching files one at a time, this feature allows you to upload multiple documents at once, preview them, and quickly allocate them to the correct patient record or provider for review. Once assigned, documents are automatically filed in the appropriate location, whether that be correspondence, the patient’s inbox, or referrals.
This article will guide you through uploading documents, previewing them, allocating them to patients and providers, and assigning them to their final destination.
