Gary, what has happened since you switched off your fax machine?

Hi Oliver,

I have sort of documented the why on the Ausmedicalsoftware  site

We are much happier now.
Patients have to come back or at least pay for scripts and referrals.
No more Divisional or Pharmaceutical company advertising
All those patient requests "Can you please fax this, it's urgent" can be answered with a polite "No, we don't have a functioning fax machine at the moment."
I don't really think there has been a significant downside.
Are other parties now emailing their clinical information to you? Are you using Argus or some other messaging system and asking the other parties to use it to get their info into your clinical system?
We are slowly getting more information electronically. We have a gastroenterologist, an Orthopaedic Surgeon and an ENT surgeon sending electronically. All radiology, pathology and most cardiology investigations are coming that way.
Baby steps.

Gary
