» Will Medscribbler interact with my billing program?

» Can I import patient information from another program?

Yes, Medscribbler includes a module to import demographic information from a text file generated by other electronic patient records software. It doesn't matter what kind of text file it is Medscribbler can be configured to put the information into the correct place. Most practice management only programs or schedulers have the ability to generate a text file. Clinical patient records may also be imported into Medscribbler as PDFs, .rtf or jpg images using the document management function of Medscribbler. The legacy system must be able to generate these types of files. The initial set-up may require a local Microsoft Certified Professional.
