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.
