We have about 60 site (offices & clinics) we telecom faxes to. We have several clinics and walk-in clinics that fax as soon as the results are verified. Our client support monitors the telecom and makes sure they all go thru to complete. We also have remote printers at nursing homes thru MedAvant. We has used them for about 15 years no. They go thru a modem from here to a printer with a modem. We also have direct prints scheduled to network printers within our system. We also printout at least 50% of our outpatient reports and hand deliver or mail or manually fax. Nothing is fool proof and all process need monitoring. Faxing thru the telecom really saves our time and basically works very well.

The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== -----Original Message----- From: Teri Ellison Sent: Thursday, June 15, 2006 7:32 AM To: Carl Smith Subject: LAB REPORTS Carl, could you forward this to the Meditech-L please. I am interested in how other sites are issuing routine lab reports to facilities (Dr Offices, nursing homes etc) outside the hospital. We are using Netfax for our faxing solutions and I have only a few outside sites set up for Telecom faxing of reports. Do most hospitals telecom to the staff physician's offices daily or maybe several times a day? In the past our fax system was not reliable and often got "hung" and shutting down ALL faxing until it was noticed and corrected. Since that is not the case now, I would like to streamline my reporting and cut down on the manual paperwork. Currently on a daily basis I have a telecom report print to the Lab printer for all outpatient labs performed. Lab employees sort by physician and distribute to the Dr boxes to be picked up by office personnel. I also have a similar job print directly to HIMS to be filed in the patient medical record. I would like to make better use of the systems I have at my disposal. I would appreciate any guidance you might be willing to share about your setup.
