The Auto Fax module provides the capability of faxing information directly from a terminal or personal computer. The information no longer has to be printed hard copy. Hospital personnel will now be able to fax information from word processing, medical records and report imaging. Purchase orders and ancillary orders can also be sent. Fax transmissions can be sent from a variety of different screens and will save time and paper in getting information to the desired location. There is also a log that monitors the status of fax transmissions.
