About This Automation
Patient record requests arrive via email, phone, and fax, requiring staff to manually search files, compile documents, and send them to other dentists. Manual handling creates delays, lost requests, and incomplete audit trails.
Automation captures incoming requests, locates patient records, assembles required documents into a PDF, and sends them with full tracking and logging. Turnaround drops from days to hours, and every request is logged automatically.
Key features:
Capture record requests from email and web forms automatically
Search and retrieve patient records from your practice management system
Assemble required documents into a single PDF package
Send records via email with delivery confirmation and tracking
Log every request and outcome in a central audit trail
Route complex or missing-record cases to staff for manual review
