how to handle volume of fax requests from specialists

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone, I am a solo solo FM doc and feeling over-whelmed by fax requests from specialists for information prior to a consultation (last note, labs, radiology reports etc). I print from my EHR to updox and then fax. Each request only takes a few minutes but those minutes are adding up! I make a point of giving my patients a copy of their test results at their next appointment. If results are normal, however, I just give them the results over the phone. So, they may not have a copy of everything by the time the see a particular specialist. The EHR I use has a patient portal where patients can access lab results (but only those done by Quest). Patients cannot access radiology reports through the

portal. I absolutely want the specialists to have all the information they need. Just wondering how others handle these requests. Looking for a time saving solution. Many thanksmicheleGlen Mills, PA
