  Faxing and e-mail Modules Added to PhpMed
Medical Open Source Development Posted by Chris Deam on Saturday August 30, @12:49AM
from the PhpMed now affering prescription faxing and integrated email dept.
PhpMed is proud to announce the availability of both incoming and outgoing fax service capability as well as integrated inter-office communication via a built in webmail interface.

Incoming Fax Service works like this:
  All incoming faxes are converted to a pdf file. You can then use the full version of Adobe Acrobat to edit the pdf file if necessary. The incoming faxes all get spooled to a network share, which allows you insant access to drag and drop the files to their correct destinations.

Outgoing Fax Service works like this:
  At the time of adding a refill to a medication, if you select "faxed" as the method, a window appears with all the refill infomation, patient information, etc. You choose a pharmacy from the drop down list and hit send. That's it! A record of the fax, who it was to, date, patient name, med name, etc is automatically recorded to a fax log which is then viewable from the administration panel.

You can also set up a "fax" printer on your windows clients and submit jobs to it from any windows application like a normal printer. Upon doing so, you are presented with a window which asks you to select a recipient, which is pulled via ODBC from the fax server. So all your fax recipients are pulled from the same source, no need for duplicate phonebook programs. Once you select a fax recipient, hit okay and the file is sent to the fax server. You can them monitor the progress of the file being sent.

This is not a flashy thing, just a real world implentation that works.
Please see the screenshots on the website.
