Scan, Fax, or Print a Document into PCC EHR

Before you can attach a document to patient’s chart, you need to load it into PCC EHR. You can use a scanner, a fax machine, or a “print to EHR” tool. Read below to learn how to import a document into PCC EHR.

Scan a File into PCC EHR

You can use a copier or a scanner to send files directly to PCC EHR.

PCC Support will help you configure each scanner or copier in your office to save documents to a specific folder. These documents are then in a File Source, available to attach to patient charts on the Import Documents screen.

Please speak with your office’s system administrator or a PCC Support technician about how to scan a document in your office.

Send a File to PCC EHR With “Print”

If you have an electronic document on your computer, you can use your computer’s print function to print the file directly to PCC EHR from any other program. You can find any file printed this way inside the EHR in the File Source “Printed to EHR”.

Print from any application

Find the documents in the “Printed to EHR” folder

Setting Up Print to EHR: If this feature is not set up on your workstation, you can follow these instructions to set up the feature yourself, or contact PCC Support.

Faxes

Some fax machines have the ability to save an electronic version of incoming faxes. PCC can configure these devices to save files directly to the EHR, just like a scanner or copier.

If your fax machine does not have this feature, you can still receive faxes directly in PCC EHR. PCC integrates with Sfax, a third-party online service that securely receives and relays faxes from any sender.

When a hospital or vendor sends you a fax, it will appear in your Faxes file source in the Import Documents screen in PCC EHR, where you can attach it to a patient’s chart, and optionally attach it directly to a visit chart note or a specific order.

The Sfax service can port an existing local phone number for this purpose, or provide a new toll-free fax number when you sign up. This service has a per-page usage based fee involved.

Contact PCC Support at 802-846-8177 or 800-722-7708 to learn more about receiving faxes in PCC EHR.

Where is the Document in PCC EHR?

After you scan, print, or fax a document to PCC EHR, it will be stored in a folder or “File Source”.

You can take files from these folders and attach them to a patient’s chart, a specific visit, or even a specific lab or other order.

You can pick the file source on the Import Document screen.
