Navigate Patient Documents

Updated: 11/16/2023|Views: 10106

View the patient's documents, referrals, and shared patient education. Documents can include files uploaded by the practice, submitted via Patient Intake, or received via fax. After a document is uploaded to the patient's documents tab, the practice can also share the uploaded documents with patients via the Patient Portal.

Note:

  • If you are integrated with Billing, documents you upload through Clinical, Billing, or the mobile application are viewable in both systems. Uploaded documents are stored on the Documents page and in the patient's chart in Clinical and under Documents in Billing.
  • Once a document is assigned to a patient, it cannot be changed to a different patient. If a document is assigned to a patient in error, delete the document and start again.
  • The size of a file cannot exceed 10MB.
