Paperwork can also be managed by a Clinic Staff who has no access to the EMR, by using the Document Manager.
You can view Paperwork of a client from inside the EMR too.
To track if the patient has opened the paperwork link or not, has he started filling it out as yet, when was the link sent and by whom, did anyone in the clinic delete the paperwork, or change the workflow - everything can be seen in a click via Paperwork Logs.
You can now override the automated process by manually attaching paperwork to a client. Paperwork Support has been added in Document Manager, Patient Past Visits, Curofic Patient portal and more.
