Here’s a familiar story. A new patient sets up an appointment to see a specialist. She has been dealing with her current health issues for years and has built up a shoe box full of prior records. The specialist, however, has no way to capture these prior records and is forced into one of the following options:
- Have the patient bring the records with her to her appointment
- Have the patient ship the records through the mail
- Have the patient email whatever records they can to the practice
- Disregard the prior records and start from scratch
