Wohl, M.D., F.A.A.P. * > We do have the PCC Partner program and have begun using it for record releases to send a summary of the patient's visits with diagnoses and procedures, major diagnoses, allergies, dates of all immunizations, and their growth chart. All of this but the growth chart can be printed directly and quickly. In patients with particular problems we will also send pertinent lab and consultant letters. Not only does this save us time at the copy machine, but I feel that it saves even more time and effort on the receiving end. What do others feel about this? Would this satisfy all of your needs for patients transferring to your practice? I know that with storage space being a problem, it's disconcerting to me to have a new family transfer to us and instantly have a chart 2 inches thick with old records, most of which you'll probably never look at again once you've gotten their immunization dates and growth data transcribed.
