SynapseDirect

For the busy medical office, the fax is an important source of incoming paper medical records, and an outgoing delivery mechanism for prescriptions and so forth.  Faxes need to be read, annotated and returned, or stored in the appropriate electronic chart - preferably without the intermediate generation of paper.

Our recent beta releases provide a way for Synapse Express users to fax seamlessly from the prescription writer, and consult preview with the installation of the client version of Snappyfax ($19.99) on the server. 

For our premium and hosted users, we can offer Hylafax, an enterprise class fax server.  Hylafax is able to cope with multiple fax lines, and process 1000s of faxes per day. 

When this has been setup, premium and hosted users will have the ability to:

• Automated OCR of incoming faxes which are then emailed to a designated person
• For a multiple provider office, it may be feasible to attempt to route the email to the appropriate user by "reading" the fax cover page
• Incoming faxes are also automatically injected into the Synapse EMR database for review, to then be forwarded to the inbox of the appropriate staff member.  The OCR'd contents of the fax are placed into the metadata.
• With appropriate windows software, incoming faxes can be annotated, and faxed back to the sender
• Prescriptions and consults can be faxed from any client, even if the client is remotely connected some 1000s of miles away
  
• Junk faxes can be deleted, and numbers blocked
• Incoming faxes can also be optionally printed automatically if received from particular fax addresses
